Snow forecasts are very location-specific, and there is no way to tell how much you’ll get on Friday without knowing exactly where you are.
What you can do now
Use one of these approaches to get an exact number:
- Check a trusted local weather site or app (such as your national meteorological service, a major weather network, or a local TV station’s weather page) and look for “Snowfall” or “Accumulation” in Friday’s hourly/extended forecast.
- If you’re in the U.S. or Canada, open your national weather service site, enter your town or ZIP/postal code, and look for the “Snowfall forecast” or “Winter weather” section, which usually gives expected totals in inches or centimeters.
How to read the forecast
- “Chance of snow” tells you the probability it will snow at all, not how much will stick.
- “Snow accumulation” or “snowfall total” is the key number; ranges like “1–3 inches” or “2–5 cm” are common because exact amounts are uncertain.
If you reply with your nearest town/city and country or ZIP/postal code, a more specific estimate and explanation for your area on Friday can be provided.
