The snow is likely to fall on Sunday from the Appalachians to New England. Some areas could see snowfall rates of one inch per hour at times.

On Saturday at 1:51 a.m. the National Weather Service issued a winter storm watch valid from Sunday noon until Monday 7 a.m. for Middlesex and Essex counties.

We've got some accumulating snow to kick things off. That will be followed by the coldest airmass of the winter season thus far. Finally, in the longer range, it appears that an active/stormy pattern is going to unfold over the next few weeks across the eastern United States.
