The ultimate slap in the face for snow lovers will be accumulating snows for North Carolina and Southeastern Virginia with not so much as a flake or an ice pellet for Eastern Pennsylvania to Southern New England. That is the way the winter has played out. While this is going on we will be turning colder and drier for the rest of the week so at least we have no rain in the forecast.

The Weather Prediction Center has upped the ante on the potential for at least 2 inches for Western North Carolina and Eastern North Carolina with a little hole in between. This matches up well with our initial early call snow forecast maps from yesterday which remains unchanged for now.

Overnight weather models have been doing their last minute juggles a little to the north and a little to the south but essentially remain on track.
