Big Storm on Tap for Saturday

Brian McInerney with the National Weather Service has produced another slide presentation about the approaching storm. You can view it here.  

Right now there is a little bit of snow falling on Utah's mountains, we're expecting to see a much more powerful system move through the area on Saturday and Saturday night. Temperatures are going to drop with a high 22 and a low of 12 degrees on Saturday.  This storm seems like it might be ripe for some lake effect action. Everyone do your snow dance and pray for some big numbers.
