Heavy Snow Predicted Leading Into 3-Day Twin Falls ID Weekend

President's Day is February 17, and many businesses and schools will be closed next week to honor America's first Commander-in-Chief, George Washington. Next weekend might also be a great one for southern Idaho residents to head to the mountains as snow is expected to start falling throughout the region toward the end of the work week.

Three-day weekends are ideal for getting out of town and taking advantage of paid time off with loved ones. President's Day is coming, and many Idahoans already have plans to hit the highway and take advantage of a rare Monday off.

If you'll be traveling over the upcoming three-day weekend, make sure to include the necessary tools and supplies to be prepared for possible weather-related traffic issues, such as getting stuck or waiting for accidents to be cleared.

Get ready to use the four-wheel drive and ice melt throughout the Magic Valley again very soon as a cold front is headed to southern Idaho Wednesday night into Thursday morning, according to The National Weather Service. There's a chance of intermittent snow for a period of 72 hours which means several inches are possible before the storm clouds move out of the region.

Area resorts such as Pomerelle, Magic Mountain, and Soldier Mountain are forecasted to get major accumulations late next week. Skiing conditions over President's weekend should be ideal for those in southern Idaho who like to tube, snowboard, and ski.
