UDPATED: Snow is Coming: Be Prepared in Broadneck

Are you ready for the surprise March snowstorm?

Updated (10:48 a.m.)—Just when we thought we got through winter unscathed by a major snowfall, Winter Storm Saturn is coming our way. 

Forecasts for the storm vary by location, but the latest Winter Storm Watch from the National Weather Service is predicting that the Broadneck area will get about 5 inches of wet snow beginning Tuesday night into Wednesday. The storm is expected to bring winds of up to 30 miles per hour.
