Snowstorm Potential Shifts North? Cold trend coming again for the US... More snow in the Future!


Hey everyone! It looks to me that the snowstorm is now shifting to the north. Now before CT, NY, MA, VT, NH, and Maine get excited, we have to discuss the setup first.
The Gfs model today shows snow at least falling all the way to Hartford and maybe a couple of flurries just south of Boston. It shows the main accumulating snow to be south of Hartford. Now keep in mind this is just one model. I've also seen cases where NYC doesn't even see snow flurries and areas like Philly see some snow, but not a lot. So my current thoughts are that the models are going to continue to shift the storm northward and i do think that Hartford maybe get anywhere between 1-4 and Boston Maybe 1-2 or less. I think this will be a decent snowstorm for NYC, and they could see maybe 3-5 maybe even up to a half a foot. Now into Philly and Just north and west of there, i believe someone is going to pick up 8 inches, maybe 10. For DC and Baltimore i don't know about this one. Temps will still be above freezing and if you're lucky in the upper 30's, but i think temps will be in the lower 40's. So i think there may be a mix, hopefully snow for the most part, but i definetly see rain mixing in which will reduce the snow totals. I still think that Baltimore and DC will get anywhere from 2-4 inches and maybe 5 (especially in the higher elevations). I do not want to leave out areas further to the west though. I see a swath of snow across the state college area and just north and west of there, through Philly where there will be at least 6 inches of snow! Areas like Pittsburgh will likely see 2-4 maybe 3-6 the further east you go of Pittsbugh.
Now into Next week and the week after! It looks that finally the thaw will move away!!!! which meanssss.... more snow!!! but before that, sadly, we have to get through a rainstorm... and quite a big one. I think there will be some snow in the midwest, but north of Chicago. Milwaukee and Duluth will see probably between 1 and 4 inches and probably a good amount of wind with it. The low will cut across the Great lakes and it looks like a hell of amount of rain and wind will slam the east coast from FL to ME and everywhere inbetween. Even ME won't see snow out of this one.
Now after that is when we find the really good stuff. And i am getting excited about it now! It looks like the freezing line will once again though reach FL. and yes, i see Snow down south!!! so for all of you in Alabama and Georgia Even Mississippi and LA, there's a chance of snow! I also see a couple major east coast snowstorms into early Feburary! Thats all for now! i may or may not have another update tonight depending on if there is any major changes or not
