We've been hoping forecasters would back off that prediction for a large spring snowfall, but they haven't.
Our hopes for a change of heart among weather forecasters have been dashed. The National Weather Service and local meteorologists are still calling for a massive winter storm to sweep over the St. Louis metro area overnight tonight. Glenn Zimmerman, meteorologist for Patch news partner FOX2, says rain should start tonight in the area at about 9 or 10 p.m., changing into snow sometime Sunday morning. He said the heaviest bursts of snowfall may be from around noon to 2 p.m. That forecast differs only slight from the storm alert from the National Weather Service: Rain will overspread the area Saturday evening. The rain is expected to mix with and change over to snow late Saturday night and early Sunday morning. Snow, heavy at times, should …

It was a bit of a surreal sight to see the large snowflakes as the turkey was baking in the oven. But the light rain turned to snow setting a festive holiday mood, even for those who had to travel since the white stuff largely melted on the roadways. So, pass the turkey and stuffing, have a piece of pumpkin pie and settle in for the football. But forget building a snowman. There's not THAT much snow! Be careful this evening however, as freezing rain is likely to develop as the temperature drops, according to the National Weather Service.
