January Shocker: Snowstorm's on the Way

Second winter storm of the season to arrive Friday, bringing with it the potential for 3 to 6 inches of snow, forecasters say.

More cold, snowy weather is headed this way, according to the National Weather Service, which is saying there's a 100 percent chance of the white stuff falling throughout the day and night Friday. As of right now, the prediction is there will be 3 to 5 inches of snow before it's finished. Before that happens, though, we're in for a frigid night, with temperatures expected to plummet to 0 and wind chills to register at 10 below. The good news in this story should arrive Sunday, when temperatures climb to near 40 and there's a 30 percent chance of rain, the Weather Service says.

ME! ME! ME! ME! ME! ME! This has to be the most selfish thing I have read here on Patch. Maybe you should actually drive slow when there is snow covering the road, and then you wouldn't have to worry about getting 'severely injured' by hitting a tree. How fast are you going down a cul-de-sac for that to even be possible?   more ›
