This wknd, the rain/snow line could hover over I-95, so we'll be on the edge between a little and lot of snow. While the most reliable data comes w/in 72 hrs of an event, I've made this preliminary map, based on an average of the data, in case you need to make early preparations.

Did the thunder sound extra loud today? That’s common in winter: - storms form w/ an inversion (cold air at the surface and warm air above). The sound waves have a hard time traveling upward, so more sound curves back toward the ground, which amplifies the sound. Graphic: @NOAA
