Don’t let the calendar fool you.

It might be turning to spring on Friday, but snow is still in the forecast.

The National Weather Service is predicting 1 to 2 inches of snow in Eastern and Central Massachusetts on Friday night and into Saturday morning.

Snow is expected to start on Friday night and fall occasionally until noontime Saturday when it will change to rain.

The highs on Saturday are expected be in the 40s.

This has been the snowiest winter in Massachusetts history. As of Wednesday, the Boston area has received 108.6 inches of snow, breaking the previous record of 107.6 set in 1995/96.
