3:29pm good news for all of us snow lovers, the forecast calls for yet another big storm as we head in the the middle of the week. A cold arctic air mass continues its grip over much of the northern-tier of the nation, this will open up a southern storm track. A storm system will move east from the Rocky Mountains producing a wide spread heavy snowfall across the country all the way to the Atlantic. Heavy snow is likely over the Northeast on Wednesday as the storm system begins to affect the region, significant snow accumulations are expected in Chicago, Illinois then east to Buffalo, NY. Heavy precipitation will also make its way into the megalopolis on Wednesday however, the storm system may pull in enough warm air off the Atlantic Ocean to change the heavy snow to an icy mix and rain before changing back to snow towards the end of the storm, it is still too early to determine the exact track of this system, which will determine the temperature variations and precipitation type. Nevertheless, another major winter storm is likely to affect the region beginning from late Wednesday morning with the heaviest precipitation through out the afternoon hours - significant snow accumulations of 6 inches or greater will be common through out a large area of the country on Groundhogs Day. In the words of former New York Yankee catcher and manager Yogi Berra "It's deja vu all over again".
