First things first: THIS IS NOT A BMTP EMERGENCY (Bread, Milk, TP)! Snowmageddon highly unlikely, NO Ice Storm. Snow predictions are most accurate within 24 hrs of the event, apps causing unnecessary panic. All ingredients must come together "just right" for it to snow in Cottage Grove. The snow possibilities listed below are how it looks as of the time of this writing (11:30am Sunday).

Zero snow chances Tuesday night through Thursday evening. Thursday night-Friday morning, a dusting to 2" possible. Friday night into Saturday morning a dusting to 1" possible but by this time little moisture will be left from the storm.
