Discussion
Earlier in the week, it looked like we had a real threat for more accumulating snow at the end of the work week. Then the chances seemingly diminished at mid-week as it appeared a couple waves of energy would not consolidate in time to have an impact on the local region. Now, the threat is back on and indeed it looks like low pressure will form quickly enough near the Mid-Atlantic coastline later today to generate accumulating snow in at least parts of our area; primarily, from the city of NYC to points south from there. Snow should break out late this afternoon and continue into the evening rush hour and accumulations on the order of a dusting to a couple of inches in the city of NYC and points east and south from there. Roads could get slippery in a hurry given the very cold ground-level conditions. After a cold day on Saturday, a milder stretch of weather will finally arrive for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
