Lake Effect Snow Event, Image: NOAA

The National Weather Service is predicting heavy snow from Upstate New York to Ohio as a cold artic airmass continues to descend across the country.

See my previous post on lake effect snow.

A quiet weather pattern will remain in place across portions of the Central Plains and Mid-Atlantic region until Saturday.

Expect heavy rain along the Gulf Coast this Friday into Saturday.

Along the West Coast, another storm system will be a rain event for the Bay Area and Los Angeles, a snow event for the Sierra.
