Well a cold weather setup will take hold across the north central and eastern US through

the end of the month with very few interruptions.

Superstorms will ride along in the waves of cold air producing rounds of light snow,

heavier squalls at times, and bands of very heavy lake effects snow at others.

Several crashes were reported across the region earlier this week amid blustery snow showers,

including a 30 vehicle pile up on Interstate 90 near Elkhart, Indiana on Wednesday, and

another multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 80 in western Pennsylvania on Thursday.

The weather's Brandon Buckingham said that back-to-back rounds of wintry weather will bring

snow to the interior northeast and the Great Lakes.

A footer more of snow could pile up in areas downwind of the Great Lakes and across higher

elevations by the end of the weekend.

One Clipper Storm finished up in the northeast on Thursday night, but the next Clipper Storm

with its snow is already moving southeastward over the upper Midwest.

With this Clipper Storm, snowfall in most areas will be light, generally ranging from

a coating to a couple of inches.

There will be some locations along the northern tier where moderate snowfall of three to six

inches is expected.

Areas along the Michigan shoreline of the lower peninsula of Michigan will also pick up

fresh snowfall.

In the wake of this Clipper Storm, the lake effect snow machine will resume.

Buckingham said that road conditions can deteriorate rapidly when snow bands move through.

So slow down a bit, increase your following distance, sudden drops in visibility and slippery

roads are a dangerous combination.

Some of the heaviest lake effects snow from Friday night into Saturday night will fall

along the Michigan shoreline of Lake Michigan and in portions of western and northern New

York State.

Snow accumulations are possible in the Polkinoes, the cat skills and the Berkshires this

weekend as well.

Rain and snow showers are forecast to extend from northeastern Maryland to southeastern

Maine on Saturday, including in the metro areas of Philadelphia, New York City and Boston.

While these will generally not accumulate in the heart of urban areas, outlying locations

could pick up a brief coating of snow if it snows hard for a few minutes.

The conditions may be winchery enough to prompt aircraft deicing operations, which can

delay some flights.

Which snowier conditions are in store for Pittsburgh, Detroit and Chicago on Saturday.

As if one clipper storm was not enough, yet another Canadian storm is forecast to drop

south eastward Sunday over the Great Lakes region.

Most of the moisture and the corresponding snow with this storm will be a bit farther

north than its predecessors, but it will still manage to bring enough snow to create slippery

conditions as far south as Chicago and Detroit later on Sunday evening.

The clipper storms will stir up the atmosphere enough to create episodes of gusty winds.

The combination of wind and cold will make it difficult to be outdoors for extended periods

of time.

Winds could be strong enough to affect lift operations at some ski resorts for a brief

period of time.

Meanwhile, along the Atlantic coast, a southern storm will be watched for a possible close

encounter with the northeast.

The most likely scenario is for the storm and its snow to avoid the Interstate 95 Corridor

Bond.

There is still a chance the storm and its snow will shift farther west at the last minute

on Sunday night.
