"It’s not certain exactly what’s going to happen Saturday night, Sunday. “We have some information here showing little or no precipitation and we have other charts showing there will be some precipitation in the form of sleet or snow. “Until we get closer to the time, we won’t be commenting on any third party information. “At the moment we don’t have enough information to solidly base a forecast. “It’s going to be cold, that’s for sure, it’s going to be breezy."The spokesperson explained that in other bad weather events, where there had lots of snow, it had all been "in unison and all in agreement in advance." He added:
"We’re waiting until we get more solid information before we make a judgement call on that. That won’t be today or tomorrow.”
