As i have said before i use the weather forum people knowledge, i am personally expecting a lot of snow to fall, but a more important factor is supposed to be the wind, blowing snow allover the show!

Thats because of the continental air flow, and at the moment it does seem fairlylikely that will continue for a bit, meaning the snow will linger longer too.
