Swaths of the country braced for more snow this weekend as cities from Spokane, Washington, to Hartford, Connecticut, cleaned up Saturday from major snowstorms earlier this week.

"We have a window of opportunity to make significant progress on snow removal before the next expected snowstorm on Saturday night," Spokane Mayor Mary Verner said Friday.

The city received about two feet of snow this week, with outlying areas reporting up to three feet of snow by the time the storm ended Thursday evening, CNN affiliate KHQ reported.

And more is coming, according to weekend forecasts. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a blizzard warning for parts of Washington state, including the Olympics, southwest portions of the state and the Hood Canal.
