[3:05 PM] No major changes to the forecast, but did add 8-14" band from Maryland to central New Jersey. Northern gradient will also be very tight from Pennsylvania to Massachusetts; small forecast changes will have big impacts here. pic.twitter.com/M9m7mY7QiA

Big question mark remains New England. Personally worried about areas north of the MA Pike coming in with little/no snow. We shall see. t.co/v4rHlnbA9w

ANOTHER SNOWBLAST SET FOR EAST…
-
Long-duration storm to bring heavy, wet snow in part of Northeast.
-
Risk of downed trees, regional power outages.
-
Moderate coastal flooding, beach erosion likely.
-
Travel to become dangerous, especially on secondary roads.
-
Expect flight delays and cancellations.
Another major storm will spread wet snow and travel disruptions from parts of Kentucky and Ohio to coastal New Hampshire and Maine as spring begins.
Spring officially arrived at 12:15 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, March 20.
Long-duration snow, wintry mix for some areas
The slow forward speed of the entire storm system will bring an extended period of wet snow and/or a wintry mix from the eastern part of the Ohio Valley to the upper part of the Delmarva Peninsula and New Jersey from Tuesday into Wednesday night.
For part of this area, the storm has the potential to bring the greatest snowfall of the winter and early spring. However, the amount of snow that accumulates on grassy areas and on vehicles will be much greater than what accumulates on roads and sidewalks.
