  2. Blizzard conditions expected Saturday. As we have been updating you on this storm since the beginning of the week, things are now looking pretty nasty. The Weather Service has issued a town-by-town snowfall estimate, and it's looking very grim. There still remains high uncertainty with the storm's track but heavy accumulations and winds are almost guaranteed. Our area is looking at 12 inches of snow, with potentially 20 inches depending on the track of the storm. (Sachem Patch)
