It's still way too early, but there are more positive signs than negative ones that it will snow this weekend. We are not etching this prediction in stone just yet, but folks in these here parts may need to fire up the snowblower come Sunday afternoon.
Here are two good signs: it looks like there will be plenty of cold air in place, which is a phrase we have not been able to utter once this winter. Also, models are showing an expected 0.5" or so of liquid precipitation, so that means roughly 6" of snow.

We're still urging caution about getting too excited for this storm. There are a lot of moving parts still, and there's no guarantee on the track of the storm. If all of the positive signs do align, then we will have a moderate or heavy snowfall (6-10"). If they don't, then the storm could easily bust and leave us with a paltry inch or two. Yes, we will happily take an inch or two, but it's high time we get a base on which we can build.
More tomorrow. Keep the faith!
