My husbands and my daily ritual of clearing roofs and moving snow continues.

High pressure is moving in, along with a couple of troughs. Leaving us with a mix of clouds and sun. The temperatures are very cold with dry air and the winds have subsided quite a bit. The storm is well to our south heading for the Atlantic.

As I’ve been saying the last couple of days or so, this storm won’t be a major storm for our region. The heaviest snow will be south of Washington, D.C, southern Delaware, and far southern New Jersey, these areas could see several inches of snow along with sleet and freezing rain. With the air so dry, there will likely be a sharp cut off, north of these areas where The DC metro, southern New Jersey into Southeast Massachusetts.

South of DC, southern Delaware, and far southern New Jersey could see 1-4 inches of snow.  The DC Metro, northern Delaware, and Central New Jersey could see a dusting to near an inch. A coating is possible over Philadelphia, New York City, Long Island, coastal Connecticut and part of eastern Massachusetts, while the Cape and Martha’s Vineyard have a chance for 1-3 inches, with the outer Cape and Nantucket having a chance for 3-6 inches of snow by tomorrow morning.  

The southern component exits tomorrow, then the northern component will swing through on later Thursday into Friday bringing light snow showers to parts of the region. much of the day on Friday will remain cold and breezy, then we will see temperatures warm up a bit for later Friday into the weekend.  We will see some clipper systems move through over the weekend. A few of snow showers are possible on Saturday, especially over northern New York State and northern New England. Saturday will start off chilly, but they will be warming to near seasonal for later Saturday.  For Sunday a moisture starved cold front will move through, meaning New York State and Northern into Central New England will have a slightly better chance for snow showers. Winds will also be increasing on Sunday.  The northern snow showers extend into Monday for northern parts of the region, with rain showers across southern New York State and Southern New England. The warming trend will continue for Monday into Tuesday. Tuesday will once again see a few troughs move through causing a chance for a few snow/rain showers. Then temperatures cool back off as a few disturbances come through during the rest of the week.
