An Alberta Clipper will bring a fresh wave of snow to the Northeast through the end of the week.
The storm, which emerged from southern Canada and dove into the Midwest Wednesday will march east across the Great Lakes and into the Northeast into Friday.
During Thursday morning and the early afternoon, a swath of snow and ice pushed southeastward from the Lower Peninsula of Michigan to part of Ohio, western Pennsylvania, southwest Ontario and western New York state.
Snow will extend into part of the Interstate-95 Northeast Thursday night and continue into Friday.
According to AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologists Alex Sosnowski, "Motorists along I-80, I-81, the Pennsylvania Turnpike and the New York Thruway should be prepared for a quick burst of snow that can lower the visibility and rapidly cover roads into Thursday evening."
For the I-95 mid-Atlantic from Washington, D.C. to Philadelphia, showers of snow, sleet and rain can make for slippery spots.
"From some of the northern and western suburbs in this swath to around New York City and New England, a coating to an inch or two of snow will fall Thursday night into Friday morning," Sosnowski said.
Up to a few inches of snow will fall on part of the central Appalachians, near the eastern Great Lakes and southern New England with the bulk of the snow occurring in New England on Friday.

"As the storm strengthens and pivots along the coast of northern New England, a period of wind-driven heavy snow can develop in portions of New Hampshire, Maine and New Brunswick on Friday and continue into Friday night and early Saturday," Sosnowski said.
There is the potential for a foot of snow in portions of Maine, where the storm is likely to evolve into a nor'easter.
This snow could slow the cleanup for those in coastal New England who must dig out from feet of snow.
This is not likely to be the last storm to bring snow into the Northeast in the near future.
Early indications are that the storm developing at the end of this week in the Southwest will track over Midwest this weekend and to the Atlantic Seaboard by the start of next week.
- Simon Richard Bernstein · Follow · Top Commenter · Baltimore, MarylandDon't mean to be critical but, you (Accu Weather) said the last two weeks or so of January was supposed to be normal temperature to slightly above average. I know, you will counter with the spin that everything is an estimate but, why so far off. Sorry forgot to add this is for the area from Virginia all the way up the coast to Maine. Reminds me of several summers ago when y'all predicted a mild summer and we got roasted. I believe that was Summer 2012.
Jim McCabe · Top CommenterI think they just run those long range forecasts to put out content. Best to ignore.... especially the seasonal forecasts. Clearly they are pointless and only busy work for meteorologists. Someone actually gets paid to put out forecasts for hurricane season every year. It's laughable.

Simon Richard Bernstein · Follow · Top Commenter · Baltimore, MarylandAgree with you. It's just a lot of fluff; sort of like the promises and drivel of many politicians. Same goes for cooler weather during the Summer months. At least in the Maryland area it hasn't been as bad as last Winter so far. However we seem to be in one of those ruts/storm trains where they keep coming. Barf! (I work in the airline industry) So, you can tell why I'm so enthused. I guess if we have to get the crap weather get it over with now. Once we het Frebruary things really get busy with "Mattress Sale Weekend, then "Winter Break." Many of the Northeasterners get a winter break in February. Then Spring Break and Easter/Passover kick in.

- Grant McGuire · Top Commenter · Western Connecticut State UniversityWhen will the Northeast see normal temperatures again? Remember that our average high should be rising from here on.
