Discussion
The biggest snow and ice storm in years is heading to the eastern US. High pressure will continue to build into southeastern Canada today and it will result in a dry and very cold day here in the Mid-Atlantic region as we await a significant mid-week storm system. This next storm will likely begin here with all snow on Wednesday during the mid-to-late afternoon hours. The brunt of the storm will take place tomorrow night when snow falls heavily at times and there can be a mix of the snow at times with sleet and/or freezing rain. Significant total snow accumulations by daybreak Thursday with current estimates of 6-12 inches throughout the NYC metro region. Snow winds down later Thursday morning and the rest of the day will feature breezy and very cold conditions and snow showers are possible in the PM hours.
