This is one of the best signals we've had all winter for a wide swath of accumulating snow. There is still time for the track to change slightly, but snow is likely from Friday to Saturday.

Before Wednesday night's snow, St. Cloud officially had 16.8 inches of snow so far this season.  We're 10.6 inches below normal.
