An October Nor'easter?

An area of low pressure currently in Arkansas will trek to the east-northeast tonight and tomorrow, arriving along the east coast somewhere between Hartford, CT and Washington, DC. Depending on the exact track of this low, some snow could fall at sea-level in many of the big cities of the Northeast, including New York, Philadelphia, and Boston.

As it stands right now, the official forecast takes this low too far to the north for "big city snow", with mainly rain expected. Inland locations like Albany, NY could see a few inches of heavy, wet snow Thursday night.
