another storm

Could this really be happening? Two major snowstorms within seven days in the mid-Atlantic region. Across the northern tier of the country, big winter storms can happen in rapid succession, but that rarely occurs in the mid-Atlantic region.

It's going to this time, though. Later this week, there will be another big snowstorm in northern Virginia, Maryland and Delaware, and this time the heavy snow could migrate up to central Pennsylvania and central New Jersey. So, what is the biggest amount of snow accumulations in this region? How about 8 inches for starters, and there could be much more if everything were to line up perfectly.

This is going to be a widespread snowstorm with its effects being felt in the Midwest and across much of the Great Plains. A band from central Indiana, back across Illinois and northern Missouri could get more than 6 inches of snow from the storm.

In regards to there being two storms on the map shown here, this will be a case in which one hands off to the other. The storm tracking in Tennessee will be the main low which will hand off its energy to secondary storm along the East Coast. Simply a classic situation for snow in all ways.

Hmm...that big white blob on the right is over Pittsburgh, too. I'll be trucking out of here about 2pm Friday.

Steven Dimartino--- Working on latest updates! Light snow this morning was only a preview of what is going to fall this weekend. All indications point to a widespread heavy snowfall. Yes, even NE PA is going to get in on this one.

I knew there'd be an update here. Pittsburgh's been upgraded from an advisory to a warning (6-12 inches), and I there's still just a watch at home..oops, I just checked. We're now orange -- and advisory, 3-6 inches.

Headed north at 2pm tomorrow. Be well, be safe all.

Peace & Love,

as of now we are on the northern edge sugah. as you say 3 to 6. germantown is really under the gun looking at maybe 20 inches. it could drift north and it wont take all that much to put the northeast in the over 12 inch range.
