This snow is going to get heavy throughout the evening but the good news is tat it should all be over very early Saturday morning. We will all just have to do a bit of digging out in the morning once it wraps up in the middle of the night. It could be a lot worst.

If you are planning on traveling you'll need to take it very slow. The good thing is that kids are on break so no need to worry about them getting home from school on time. Many of us are also off of work.

We will make sure to keep you up to date. Make sure you have out app downloaded for the latest alerts and updates.
