Latest Prediction: 12-20" of Snow Starting Friday Morning

The National Weather Service has at last put out its first official prediction for this weekend's gathering storm: a Winter Storm Watch is in effect starting in the late morning on Friday, and lasting all the through to Saturday evening. Much is still uncertain as far snow accumulation predictions, but right now they are saying 12 or more inches, with up to a whopping 20 inches possible.

They're also straight up warning residents that this storm has the potential to be much like the Dec. 19 SnOMG event. But we've gone ahead and upgraded it to Snomgasm.
