Snow for New Year's Now Likely

Exactly how it will play out is far from clear but at least some substantial snow will occur Friday or Saturday. A lot could happen to the forecast over the next few days. The computer models can't make up their minds on exactly when and how much snow we will get. Some rain mixing in is also possible.

Around Jan. 7th or so, another major storm may occur. So if this one doesn't do it, we have another chance.

January so far looks quite cold and snowy. A very active weather pattern continues. The North Atlantic Oscillation or NAO is going strongly negative and that spells snowstorm on the east coast. We really have the cold high pressure to the north, like you are supposed to have, to get a snowstorm. But it just does not tell you exactly when and where.

Accuweather calls it the December to remember, so watch out.
