  • Monday -- Monday will see the steadiest snow with most areas getting about 6 inches of snow.
  • Tuesday -- Snow will end on Tuesday morning with another 1 to 2 inches possible.

The snowfall predictions for each day don’t seem like much, but when taken together we may see a foot of snow between Saturday and Tuesday.
