More snow expected in Northeast and Great Lakes region ahead of Christmas
The lead-in to the holidays will be heavy on precipitation for many people as another storm system moves in across the Great Lakes and Northeast regions, bringing rain and snow before Christmas.
The lead-in to the holidays will be heavy on precipitation for many people as another storm system moves in across the Great Lakes and Northeast regions, bringing rain and snow before Christmas.
Those in the Northeast were already treated to snow Saturday, the first day of winter, and are expected to get a few more inches Monday and Tuesday. A storm system is encroaching upon the Great Lakes region Monday morning from Minnesota to Michigan, creeping its way east until it ends Tuesday night.

Showers are expected for Northern California and Washington later this week, and there is a chance of snow in the area's mountain ranges.
But it will be the interior Northeast, Michigan and Wisconsin that are expected to get 2 to 6 inches of snow before Christmas Eve. It's unlikely, however, that there will be much snow in New York City or Boston.
There's no forecast for a white Christmas, either, as many areas will slosh in melted white blankets by Wednesday.
