The National Weather Service has forecast a powerful winter storm to affect the Northeast beginning Friday and continuing into Saturday. The Weather Channel has dubbed the impending weather system winter storm Nemo.
According to the National Weather Service, the storm could bring anywhere from 6 inches to 2 feet of snow across an area stretching from the New York City metro area to Maine, with localized heavier amounts possible.
CBS meteorologist David Bernard reported "potential for historic snows and blizzard conditions across the Northeast" in his outlook Thursday morning, borrowing language from the National Weather Service's blizzard watch for the area.
As of midday Thursday, the NWS forecast anticipated accumulations of 18 to 24 inches for metro Boston, Connecticut and southeastern New England, combined with strong winds gusting up to 55 mph. Winter storm watches were in effect for most of the Northeast.
The last time that New England was hit with snow accumulations of this magnitude was during the famous blizzard of 1978, which "paralyzed the region with more than 2 feet of snow and hurricane force winds" just more than 35 years ago, according to CBS News.
Is the storm affecting your area?
My school has just cancelled for tomorrow because of it
I'm excited for the snow
We haven't had a lot of snowfall within the past few years so this should make up for it
((((as long as we don't lose power))))
I heard yesterday that my area was getting 2 feet now im getting 1-3?
Don't trust the picture
It's just the first picture that popped up lol
But then again, there are like 5 different predictions for my area right now too
Who knows! :\

Haha, I live in a city with snowstorms basically everyday.
Hell my school is only cancelled now if the roads are deadly, or if its -40 (Without wind shield) now, so I guess no snowstorms really effect my town anymore.
It could be more or less depending on the track of the storm. But I don't think there will be much change in the weather models since it's already Thursday.
no school tomorrow
