All Aboard for the Polar Express.

No, this isn't about any Christmas movie.

It's about the next four days when four separate freight cars of snow will blend into one long snowtrain that will likely dump more than a foot on the area.

The caboose of the snowstorm train which barrels through Monday likely will produce the greatest snow impact.

Here's the good news. Today will be snow-free, with nothing but brutally cold wind chills tamping down your storm-prep plans.

The snow, however, does get under way Saturday afternoon, with 1-3 inches accumulating by midnight.

Snow continues on Sunday throughout the day at varying degrees of intensity with another 3-5 inches of accumulation and real-feel temps not getting out of the single digits thanks to a brisk north-northeast wind.

The on-again, off-again snow continues throughout Monday with another 3-5 inches. Frigid temps continue as well.

Lingering flurries on Tuesday morning will signal an end to the snowtrain, but the deep freeze will continue chugging along with a low Tuesday night around 6.

So if you like to bundle up and enjoy outdoor winter activities, you'll be in seventh heaven.

If you don't, just remember it's only a week till Valentine's Day and Milton Winter Carnival, during which it's supposed to be brutally cold, but snowfree.
