12:00pm a slew of Winter Weather advisories have been posted for much of the Northeast by the National Weather Service in anticipation of a Nor'easter that will impact a large area with significant snowfall. This storm will impact regions that have already received mammoth amounts of snow with this month's dynamic weather pattern. Heavy snow is expected on Thursday and Friday with additional snow on Saturday as the storm whinds down. 1 to 2 feet of snow is likely from Philly north up to Binghampton and Albany. As of the current expectations, NYC should miss the brunt of the storm but not after receiving nearly 8.0" of snow. Warmer air over Long Island should keep precipitation mostly in the form of rain. There is still uncertainty with the storm track which could mean the difference between a rain storm in the Tri-state or an accumulation of over 12.0" of snow in to New York City and White Plains. In to southern New England rain will be the issue from coastal Maine down to Boston and Hartford. Heavy snow will spread inland bringing significant snow in to Rochester and Buffalo as well were up to 8.0" of accumulation are likely. Wind will also be an issue most notably near the coast where 40MPH to 50MPH gusts will make for difficult travel.
