Where Is It Snowing?

All is quiet on the western front (for now) but on the east coast, specifically New England, the snow is falling in sheets at places like Sunday River, Whiteface, Jay Peak, and Stowe.

Any east coaster will tell you, New England’s weather has not been very cooperative this season and the change in temperature is a welcome respite from an otherwise rainy winter on the east coast. According to recents forecasts from NOAA, that trend is set to continue as overnight lows throughout the Green Mountains should remain in the single digits for much of the weekend.

In the meantime, here’s who got the most snowfall in the past 24 hours… 

NOAA SHORT RANGE FORECAST DISCUSSION:

As cold temperatures and brisk winds associated with a potent upper-level trough over southeast Canada flow over the ice-free Great Lakes, prolonged bands of lake effect snow will continue downwind from all the Great Lakes and into the Central Appalachians through Saturday morning. In addition to the heavy snow, Blizzard Warnings are also in effect downwind of Lakes Erie and Ontario until Friday afternoon due to wind gusts up to 50 mph and potential whiteout conditions. The bulls-eye for the heaviest totals will
be in and around the Tug Hill Plateau of northern New York where storm total snowfall amounts will exceed three feet. Farther south, portions of the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic may witness some spotty rain and snow showers late Friday morning and into the early evening hours.

Here's the #weather snapshot for #Friday, February 28. Despite the latest winter storm winding down, heavy lake effect snow will continue downwind of the Great Lakes. Also, a clipper system will produce light snow from the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys into the Appalachians. pic.twitter.com/jRSVKzmBN4

The East Coast will bundle up through Sunday morning as below normal temperatures stick around through Saturday. Sub-freezing low temperatures are likely through much of the Southeast both Saturday and Sunday mornings. Meanwhile, the Nation’s Heartland will see more spring-like temperatures with day time highs in the 60s and 70s this weekend. The West Coast will enjoy unseasonably warm temperatures Friday but cooler
temperatures are on the way this weekend.
