Active times continue through the weekend as we are expecting yet another period of some snow. However, this event will be nothing like we just dealt with and we will just see a several hour window of some light to perhaps moderate snow as some shortwave energy dives southeast out of Canada overnight tomorrow into Friday. While there isn't a great deal of moisture available with this system or much in the way of lift, extremely cold temperatures aloft will yield very high snowfall ratios; potentially as high as 15:1 to 20:1. This will make for very large and fluffy snowflakes.
All in all this will be a relatively weak system and despite the lack of moisture, the system will be associated with just enough lift to allow for some light to even moderate bursts of snow at times. The timeframe for any snow will be between 1 AM and 7 AM Saturday. Snowfall totals should amount to 1-3'', however, most locations may see around 1'' as opposed to 3'' as the 3'' amounts will be rather isolated and it's virtually impossible to pindown where these totals will be.
