Looks like we have a storm that will travel up the east coast which equals a Nor'easter. This storm is expected to arrive some time Friday night and continue all day Saturday. It is still too early to know the exact track so no one has snow total maps out yet. The weather channel does have some early predictions though
Everything I have read this morning is stating the potential is there for over a foot of snow.
Here is a quote from Accuweather.com
There is every indication that a storm will develop and strengthen off the southern Atlantic coast late this week. The storm could intensify enough from Friday to Saturday to be classified as a bomb cyclone as it moves northward toward New England. A bomb cyclone, or bombogenesis, occurs when the central pressure of a storm crashes by 0.71 of an inch (24 millibars) or greater within 24 hours. When the pressure plummets, winds rush in toward the center of the storm at a faster pace. The winds can carry a great deal of moisture with them and unleash that in the form of copious amounts of precipitation. If the air is cold enough, heavy snow and blizzard conditions can unfold.
and this is a quote from NBC weather:
We have the potential for a major nor’easter sometime Friday night into Saturday. The track and timing are still to be determined, with still a low chance it could miss us. However, some key indicators hint that we will see at least something between Friday night through Saturday night. In fact, our exclusive NBC forecast model has a high POP for the eastern half of New England on Saturday. Several inches of snow is possible in Boston and across eastern New England. If the storm tracks in the right way, we won’t just have over half a foot to a foot of snow, but also damaging winds and coastal flooding.
Stay tuned.....
