The big eastern snowstorm sure did deliver with the Major I-95 cities from DC all the way to Boston picking up 10-13 inches of snow. To the west into the Appalachians and places got a 20-30 inch dump. The highest amount that I’ve seen from this system was 29 inches in the mountains of Virginia.
Here’s a look at the current US snowpack and you can clearly see the fresh snow laid down from Georgia to New England. The Southern snowpack as you’d expect has been melting fast and furious in the strengthening Feb sun.
While the deepening sub-980mb low sweeps through the Maritimes this weekend bringing blizzard conditions to coastal New England, the next system drops into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast where a widespread 1-3 inches is expected.

Note snowfall increases north of the Big Apple. Why, because this system like the one we have now will intensify off the coast.

Pacific Flow Brings Thaw, Relief From Cold
Here’s the Saturday system, this will be followed by cold NW winds which take us into the new work week briefly.
Here comes the zonal flow.
With a trough digging in the West, expect a nice warm-up mid to late next week with southwest winds pushing snow eating 40s up into Chicago and Detroit. DC may see 60 while it gets into the 50s from Philly all the way to Boston.
Followed By MORE Cold!
Next punch drops into the Rockies first then spreads east.
