Snow forecast calls for around one inch, with two inches possible west of I-39. Few flurries leftover Saturday morning, but no additional accumulation expected. At most, a dusting near the lake.

As the storm digs into the southern states, cold air connects and big-time ice problems are expected. The storm then travels along the eastern seaboard and moisture from the Atlantic wraps into the system as it targets the northeast.
