And yet another snowstorm next week....Maybe!

The possibility of a major snowstorm hitting the Northeast next week exists, but the track and strength of the storm is not set in stone.

Like other storms we have seen so far this winter, snow will first fall over part of the Rockies and Plains this weekend. Again, like we have seen on other occasions this winter, a more southern storm will try to take over. As the storm rolls to the Mid Atlantic Coast Monday night and Tuesday, it will encounter, for the first time, a frigid high pressure system over New England.

If the storm is able to push through this artic high pressure system it could turn northward running up the coast and cause us a lot of trouble here in our area.  On the other hand, if the storm is unable to push through the frigid high pressure system, it may simply continue out to sea with little or no impact for us.

The storm's track should start setting itself up late this weekend.
