According to local forecasts, it looks like we're going to have Winter Weather Weekend: Part Deux.
Which means, forget heading outside unless you're dragging your sled to go sledding. Check out our Richmond Snow Guide for the best sledding spots, snow photos, things to do in the snow and more.
Plus, it's Super Bowl Sunday, which means it's the perfect time to grab a bunch of friends, a bag of chips and watch the Colts take on the Saints.
But if the Super Bowl and winter weather don't overwhelm all weekend plans (we'll keep you posted with event closings on Richmond.com's Events Calendar), here are our picks for the Top Five Weekend Events.
1. First Fridays Artwalk
Friday
If the snow doesn't hit hard on Friday, make a bee-line for the art galleries on and around Broad Street for a night of openings, music, parties and receptions. Find out more on our First Friday Guide.
