What may be one of the 3 biggest snowfalls of the winter season is shaping up for Friday and Saturday.
A deep layer of arctic air will ensure all-snow with this system, no changeover to ice or rain. That will mean higher snowfall totals by Saturday afternoon, when snow finally tapers off.
Snow arrives late morning or midday Friday, and then falls, heavy at times, Friday afternoon and Friday night, when the bulk of the snow will fall. I don't expect any problems for commuters getting into work Friday morning, but the drive home Friday evening may be a slow, white-knuckle slog, with 3-4" already on the ground.
This will be a dry, powdery, almost Aspen-like snowfall - conditions for downhill and cross country skiing should be as good as they ever get Saturday and Sunday
