I don't see any big snow storms coming.
From the NWS:
.SHORT TERM /Tuesday through Thursday/... Issued at 351 PM EST Mon Feb 10 2020 Main focus for the short term is on the dynamic system set to impact the area Wednesday into Thursday morning. Precipitation at onset Wednesday morning will likely fall in the form of snow, with a changeover to rain proceeding northward through the area as warm air aloft arrives and surface temperatures rise well into the 30s. This changeover will then reverse from the northwest Wednesday night as the low pulls away and cold advection begins. Total snow accumulations of 1 to as much as 2-3 inches are possible across the northern half, with highest amounts over the far north - although with the rain this may be deceiving as much of the snow may melt or turn to wet slush. Profiles suggest freezing rain or sleet will not be significant contributors to amounts. The low track is fairly well clustered in the GFS ensembles for being 36-48 hours out, but minor low level thermal profile differences will make a significant different in the precipitation type outcomes. Stay tuned to forecast updates as this system approaches. && .LONG TERM /Thursday night through Monday/... Issued at 251 PM EST Mon Feb 10 2020 Models in good agreement that surface high pressure will build in Thursday night and Friday in the wake of an upper trough of low pressure. This and a dry column will allow for clearing skies and very cold temperatures late in the week. Blend suggests overnight lows in the single digits to near 15 degrees Thursday night and afternoon highs only in the upper teens and upper 20s on Friday. This will then abruptly change starting Saturday as the surface low moves to the east and allows for a quick warmup and increased moisture. The continued southerly flow will interact with waves in the upper flow and bring chances for precipitation starting Saturday night. Model soundings and thicknesses support mostly rain by Sunday afternoon but a mix possible Saturday night into Sunday morning. Continued low level warm advection supports above normal temperatures by Sunday. Areas near and south of Interstate 70 could see 50 degrees plus by Monday.
