Saturday

The storm's total snowfall so far is about 18 inches.

Of that, about 2 inches fell on Friday evening and Friday night, so on Saturday morning, there will be some untouched snow on top of a soft base.

During the day on Saturday, the combination of storm energy, a favorable wind direction, and lingering moisture will combine to create snow showers from the late morning through the early evening. This should result in another 2-5+ inches of accumulation and the continuation of soft and powdery conditions on Saturday.

Also, with cooler temperatures in the teens, this snow should be somewhat fluffier compared with the snow that fell on Friday.

Sunday

On Sunday morning, there should be soft conditions due to the snow that fell on Saturday, and because there could be a few inches of accumulation on Saturday late afternoon and evening, there might be some untouched snow for Sunday morning's first chair. Weatherwise, Sunday will be dry with a high temperature in the 20s.

Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday

Monday should start with dry weather and then there could be some snow by late afternoon or evening.

Tuesday should have some new snow as a storm will bring flakes from late Monday night through Tuesday midday-ish. Total snowfall could be 2-6 inches.

And Wednesday may be another soft snow day with leftover snow from Tuesday and likely dry weather during the day.

All three days should have temperatures in the upper 20s.

Thursday, Friday, and Saturday

Thursday should start with dry weather, then snow may arrive at some point during the day or evening.

Friday could be a low-end powder day with a few inches of new snow.

Saturday may also be a low-end powder day with another few inches of new snow.

All three days should have temperatures in the 20s.

Longer Range

Sunday, February 23 through Thursday, February 27 should be dry with high temperatures in the 30s. Then there will be a chance for more snow any time between Friday, February 28, and the first few days of March.
