Please keep in mind that the data presented in this video is from Friday afternoon. The data is subject to change through the day Saturday. A few miles difference in the path of this storm could bring the snow farther south or the rain farther north, which will greatly affect snow totals. Stay tuned!

Forecasting these snow systems can be pretty difficult (and stressful!) work. I think I did a pretty good job this time around. A few misses but the majority of the area got what was predicted.
