Christmas storm

The situation developing for next week is complex and evolving.  There are three pieces of energy that may or may not coalesce into a powerful storm for the Great Lakes and NE regions giving rain, freezing rain, snow or a combination of the three.  So the models are still figuring out what, where, and how much.  Fact remains that something of significance is occurring the middle of next week.  I would strongly recommend that you avoid making significant travel plans for Christmas Eve and Day.
