Fox 21 Chief Meteorologist Gino Recchia says the Ashland and Washburn areas are expected to get anywhere from 6 to 10 inches of snow with this storm. 

A snow emergency means that all vehicles must be removed from all city streets, alleys and parking lots so crews have an easier time removing snow.
