Big storm chances fade, but snow in Maine still possible
Forecasters say the storm could deliver the season’s first snow to higher terrain, with up to a foot possible in Lake Placid, New York.
- A developing nor'easter will sweep through the Northeast on Friday, bringing the season's first significant snowfall to higher elevations while impacting the Interstate 95 corridor with widespread rain.
- Nor'easters typically form along the East Coast with winds from the northeast and occur most commonly between September and April; this system is currently moving across the Plains today.
- Lake Placid, New York, the site of the 1980 Winter Olympics, could see close to a foot of snow by Saturday, while higher elevations in the Adirondacks and Green Mountains may receive 3 to 6 inches.

- Following the storm's departure, high pressure will bring a colder pattern into early next week, though forecasters expect temperatures to rebound as a late-week warmup arrives after the initial chill.
