We picked up another 2 inches of rain today causing most major rivers to flood again. Another batch of heavy rain will come through this evening, then taper to showers by morning. It may end as some wet snowflakes, but no accumulation of snow is expected. However, an additional .5-1 inch of rain can be expected by tomorrow morning. Then, another system will come through on Thursday night and Friday morning. I am now thinking it is a mainly rain event, with some wet snow possible at the end. Behind the front, a shot of very cold air will come in to the area. Then, it now appears another powerful nor'easter will batter the region on Monday, before it clears. After that storm it seems the pattern will shift and spring will arrive to stay by early April.
