Weather officials say two storms could merge to bring a slow moving snowstorm this weekend or a quicker single system with less snow. Mercer County officials urge shelters if needed and advise a week of supplies as ice remains a danger. Officials warn ice storms strain power and roads while crews prepare equipment and monitor updates.
