And the snow is still falling in Manhattan, though it looks like it may have changed back over to rain in Brooklyn and possibly Queens. This kind of flip-flopping will be the norm today along I-95 from Baltimore to New York City.And the snow is still falling in Manhattan, though it looks like it may have changed back over to rain in Brooklyn and possibly Queens.

Update at 11:38 a.m.: There are reports of thundersnow from Virginia to southwest Pennsylvania. Thunder and lightning can occur in snow storms when vertical motion in the atmosphere is very strong. This also means there’s the potential for very heavy snow. Giving these reports, snowfall rates at or above two inches per hour in the heaviest bands with severely reduced visibility, especially on the roads, would not be surprising.Update at 11:38 a.m.: There are reports of thundersnow from Virginia to southwest Pennsylvania.

The pre-Thanksgiving storm pushed up the East Coast early Wednesday morning. Rain began falling in the D.C. metro around 3 a.m., and since then has moved north up the Eastern Seaboard to Maine. This storm is a fast-mover packing heavy rain and heavy snow, though fortunately the nor’easter will clear out of the Mid-Atlantic by Wednesday night, and New England by Thursday morning.The pre-Thanksgiving storm pushed up the East Coast early Wednesday morning.

MassachusettsMassachusetts
In eastern Massachusetts, the snow forecast has held steady in most areas, and has even increased in the immediate Boston metro area. A winter weather advisory is in effect for the Boston to Providence, R.I., corridor for a “slushy” inch or 2 inches — meaning the snow is going to be very heavy and wet.In eastern Massachusetts, the snow forecast has held steady in most areas, and has even increased in the immediate Boston metro area.
