The snowstorm is expected to dump 3 to 7 inches of snow on Hatboro, Horsham and the surrounding area Friday night into Saturday.

The latest forecast for Horsham and Hatboro greatly increased the amount of snow predicted in this weekend's winter storm.
Winter Storm "Nemo" could bring 4 to 8 inches of snow to the Hatboro and Horsham area Friday and Saturday.

A massive winter storm is going to hit the Northeast Friday night bringing 1 to 30 inches of snow.
