winter stormThis could be the one many snowshoers, skiers and snowboarders have been waiting for.

It’s still early, but much of the Northeast might be poised to see its first widespread heavy snowfall of the winter this weekend, according to a report on AccuWeather.com.

AccuWeather.com Chief Meteorologist Elliot Abrams says, “Unlike many storms this winter, this particular one has the potential to bring a foot of snow to some locations, where rain fails to mix in.”

How much snowfall versus rainfall will depend on the exact track of what will become a significant coastal storm.
