of snowfall possible.”

What they’re saying

“The placement of this and the strength of this will make all the difference for all the snow,” FOX Weather Meteorologist Britta Merwin said. “When you have an area of low pressure that’s right off the coast, usually we get this very thin band on the backside where we can have this intense impulse of snow. If that lines up with the 95 corridor, we could see some of the highest snow totals of snow from this system, on the 95 corridor.”

What we don’t know

The exact amount of snow will depend on how the two storm systems that will move through the Northeast this weekend interact.
