Blizzard conditions are currently affecting Atlantic Canada while the powerful offshore system begins to pull out of the Northeast US with Boston digging out from an additional 16.

Check out these latest incredible scenes from New England and New Brunswick!

Boston, MA

Moncton, New Brunswick.

In 3 weeks, Boston has seen more snow than all but TWO other snow seasons and more than Chicago has ever witnessed in an entire season.

At 95.7″, winter 2014-15 now falls into 3rd place for snowiest on record in Boston.

By tonight, with a near 1040 arctic high over the Great Lakes and the sub-970 snowbomb over Newfoundland, the strongest push of arctic air in potentially decades will get driven into the Northeast aboard bone-chilling northerly winds.

Pretty incredible… Nowhere is above 20 degrees (air temp) from DC north as of 2pm this afternoon.

As you can see above, frigid air is already in place but tonight sees the perfect setup between weather systems to drive central Quebec air down to NYC.

GFS projected 2m temps over the Northeast tomorrow AM.

Then all weary eyes turn to the South and Mid-Atlantic where a major snowstorm winds up and crosses the TN Valley, eventually exiting the Delmarva later Tue.

GFS charts show a major snowstorm from Arkansas through Tennessee into North Carolina and Virginia Mon-Tue.

Note the strong NORTHERLY flow driving pure arctic air into the Northeast overnight tonight.

This could be a solid 6-14″ snowstorm from Little Rock through Memphis, Nashville to Asheville.

Wow, just look at those thicknesses beneath that second, more southerly storm system.

Here’s trough 1 from the 500mb anomaly perspective.

Trough 2!

Tonight will be brutal down to DC as you see from the above charts but Thu AM following the next storm looks even colder.

Check out the projected ‘snow on the ground and where the cold goes!!

I think Nashville could go to 0 or slightly below while Atlanta beats last year’s 6.

See video for the discussion.
