Snow and icy roads.....warm end to week....cold weekend....bigger early March storm?

Much of the area picked up 2" of snow, however, areas from Mayville up toward Devils Lake to Minot picked up 4-7" of snow.  Now we will "warm" things up a bit for the end of the week as temps rise into the mid to upper 30s.  As a cold front arrives Friday night, much colder weather in the teens will push into the area.  A few upper level disturbances will ride through our area from Saturday through Monday with light snow but no BIG storms in sight.  However, as we turn the corner into March, as I discussed the last few weeks, it looks like it will turn stormier.  The map showed here is depicting a RAIN storm for the first weekend in March.  Is that fact or fantasy?  I'm not buying the warm scenario so this will be a storm to be watched.   March still looks like it will be chilly from mid month onward.
