Mid-Week Snow Storm Update — AccuWeather and National Weather Service
“As the energy from a powerful storm system that slammed the West Coast over the weekend slides east over the upcoming week, it will become responsible for the next major winter storm for the United States. This time, it looks poised to strike much of the East Coast, bringing a large swath of drenching rain, deep snow and perhaps even a thick glaze of ice for some,” reports AccuWeather.
"Once it starts moving north, it will meet colder air, and more wintry precipitation will begin to take over with the potential for significant ice and snow across a large portion of the East," reports AccuWeather.

"However, with a track near the mid-Atlantic and New England Coast looking more likely, the probability of the heaviest snow targeting parts of the mid-Atlantic and southern New England is also increasing."
Some forecasts have southern New England getting 20 inches or more.
