Snow Way!

There's a song that James Taylor sings which includes the words, "The frost is on the pumpkin."

There may be more than just frost coating the pumpkins and other Halloween decorations this weekend if the forecasters' worst case scenarios come true. And some may alter the next line of James Taylor's song to: "The road salt is in the barn."

Some predictions point to the possibility of a mix of rain and snow starting Saturday night and ending in the early morning. The National Weather Service has issued a storm watch and predicts 3 to 7 inches of snow.

The service's official forecast for the Mansfield area calls for rain and snow Saturday night, becoming all snow after 1 a.m. It will also be windy, with gusts up to 49 miles per hour.

The snow should end by 8 a.m. Sunday, the weather service predicts; gusty winds will remain, but the sun will come out and the high temperature should reach 45.
