As mentioned earlier this week the possibility of an blizzard has pretty much been thrown out. The three jet streams that were predicted to phase over the east will remain separate. So the pieces of the puzzle will not come to together to produce a big daddy for the East Coast. With this being said a winter storm will still form with snow, wind and cold temperatures. However instead of starting in the southeast and producing snow in the Tennessee Valley the low pressure will form much further north. The snow will likely be light across the Ohio Valley then really gets going across Virginia just west of DC then races northeast along the I-95 corridor. Where places will receive a general 3-6 inches will some isolated areas across New York and Massachusetts getting up to 10 inches. Very Cold air will get tucked in behind the storm with the upper level low as the winds pick up. 
This will likely be the last post on this winter storm as this is now short term forecast. So if you're across the Northeast keep checking with the local forecasts through National Weather Service or local television stations.
Even if this storm doesn't deepen and become a big storm this is really not our active time that I have been talking about. This will come after our warm up later this week and weekend. As advertised a couple weeks ago an very active stormy period starts by mid month and last through the end of February. This is still looking very true and almost to good to be true as every indicator is showing this. So There will much more storms with the battling of cold air and the increasing warmth. So there if you don't get any snow with this snow or enough snow. I believe even bigger storms look to be in the future especially across the Northeast and Northwest. Much more on this later this week!
