Let's take one last look at this thing, shall we? As of late Thursdayafternoon, the storm of concern was centered close to Norfolk, Virginia.Thursday night and Friday, the storm will track northward at a pretty good clipand won't have enough time to produce a lot of precipitation in themid-Atlantic region.

That being said, it still appears that New England is still directly in thesights of this storm, and heavy snow is likely from the Litchfield Hills ofConnecticut to Maine. Later Friday and Friday night, the snowstorm will alsoexpand into Atlantic Canada.

Here are some snowfall forecasts for some select locations: The Catskills, 8inches; Pittsfield, Mass., 8 inches; Lebanon, N.H., 10 inches; Houlton, Maine,13 inches; Fredericton, New Brunswick, 10 inches.

Following the storm, a very cold Saturday is in store for the entire Northeastwith temperatures running 10 to 15 degrees below normal.
