The advisory is set to last until 4am tonight as the storm’s initial intensity tapers off. That said, expect some lingering accumulations throughout the weekend. The bonus to this whole storm is that those lingering snowfalls should come at very low temps, leaving a rightside-up snowpack in its wake– and don’t forget blower snow!

LET IT SNOW!
