Snow to start March

The storm that hammered the region on Thursday with strong winds and heavy rain is still stalled to our west. Tonight, it will move offshore and merge with another storm coming up the coast. However, it will be slightly too far east to give us a big event. Then, all eyes will turn to another powerful storm coming up the coast for Wednesday. It is still to early to tell how close it will come. The current track would give us a grazing with a few inches of snow, but if it comes closer to the coast we could have good size snowstorm.
