The show is over but more snow is waiting in the wings.

Snow showers possible later on today, mostly in the hills north and west.

There may be another 1 to 3 inches this weekend and a more significant storm may appear next week.  According to NY NJ PA WEATHER.com there is a risk for a 3" to 6" snow between this Friday night and early next Monday.


 A Groundhog Day snow and ice storm is possible.  Tuesday into Wednesday of next week, may be  our next snow, ahead of another Arctic air mass.  Another low pressure system from the Gulf of Mexico will follow the long arc up the coastline, carrying ample moisture with it.


At this very early look, it would be 5" to 10" of snow, on the ground, when the storm exits on Wednesday.  Ice could be a problem with next week's storm.


Ordinarily,  being almost a week away,  such a possibility could be dismissed as remote, but look at how things have played out this winter.  There is a strong possibility for a major winter storm next week, again.
