Long Island could see its first measurable snowfall of the season this weekend, the National Weather Service said.

The 2 to 4 inches predicted to fall Saturday into Sunday might be just enough to create hazardous travel conditions, the service warned, and the season's first accumulation might mean it's time to break out your shovels.

The last time Long Island experienced measurable snowfall at Long Island MacArthur Airport was Feb. 20, although it was just one-tenth of an inch, according to the service.
