A quick burst of snow is expected when the storm arrives, followed by a gradual change to gossip and freezing rain in large parts of Saturday night, especially along the I-95 corridor and areas north and west.

This is not expected to be a big blizzard.

The greater concern can be the ice

When snow transfers to gossip and freezing rain, the accumulation of ice can lead to dangerous travel conditions until Saturday night. A quarter of an empty ice cream (or more) could stay in some areas, leading to potential power cuts.

A quarter empty ice could fall in some places.

The best choice is to be careful if you need to drive or go anywhere and give yourself time. You might just want to take it easy and prepare for the Super Bowl Sunday.

Clearing for Super Bowl Sunday

On early Sunday morning, temperatures will rise and rainfall will be wound up. Sunday will be partly sunny and dry, but Gusty runs up to 30 km / h will do for a blusted afternoon.

Dry weather is expected to continue through Sunday night and Monday. Then the next winter storm could hit Tuesday, so stay up to date.
