The snowstorm will remain on a south to north track through New England today, moving at a rather fast pace. Any one particular area will only have to endure the snowstorm for roughly six to eight hours.
That snowy period will end during the midday hours in Boston and Providence and early this afternoon in Portland.
This afternoon and tonight is when the storm will unleash substantial and wind-whipped snow over Atlantic Canada. Rain mixing in along the coast, however, will limit snow accumulations.

The quick nature of the storm will prevent feet of snow from piling up across New England, as was the case with last week's monster storm.
Snow amounts will still reach around 6 inches or more across far eastern New England. Boston and Bangor lie within this zone.
Most other communities across New England, with the St. Lawrence Valley being the exception, will measure between 3 and 6 inches.
Today's snowstorm should not bring New England to a standstill. However, just a couple inches of snow can prove disruptive to travelers both on the ground and in the air.

Even though the snow will depart the mid-Atlantic early this morning, the hubs in New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., will still be subject to delays today due to gusty winds.
The ripple effect from problems at the major airports in the Northeast could create travel headaches elsewhere across the United States.
The blustery winds following the snowstorm will also usher the coldest air so far this winter into the Northeast. Residents will have to endure that bitter cold through early next week.
