After Winter Storm Petros, it’s time for another storm to hit portions of the Midwest and Northeast. The storm will come down from the northern Rockies to the the Midwest, on the first day of March.
The winter Storm Petros has already dumped more than a foot of snow over parts of the Midwest last week.

This time around, we will not see a crippling blizzard with the potential to dump over a foot of snow over a large area.
At present, the jet stream is in a progressive pattern. Accordingly, disturbances will propagate through the jet stream rather quickly from west to east. It will not ponder over a particular area, bringing rather than being blocked and persisting over any given area.
The month of February will end with an Alberta Clipper bringing widespread heavy snowfall from the upper Great Lakes to the interior of northern New England. Isolated spotty rain will be witnessed in the Eastern Seaboard.
The East Coast will receive another round of stormy weather in the middle of next week.
We can expect mostly rain ending as some snow over Erie in Pennsylvania, Buffalo and Syracuse in New York, and Burlington in Vermont.
Further east of the Appalachian Mountains, we could see some snow storm over the interiors of Northeast.
