Possibility Of Snow, Ice Storm For Northeast Next Week Hinges On One Factor: AccuWeather
A winter storm could hit the Northeast next week, but it depends on one factor, forecasters say.
A dip in the jet stream.
“Should a large dip develop in the jet stream, then a major winter storm will climb the Atlantic coast from Monday night to Tuesday night,” AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Bob Smerbeck explained.
“However, should only a shallow dip in the jet stream develop, the storm would be more likely to escape out to sea, off the southern Atlantic coast by midweek.”
Weather maps show a dusting of between one and three inches, should the snow make its way up to New Jersey, eastern…

More To Come? Research Scientists Spell Out Possible Reasons For Increase In Shark Attacks
As the number of shark sightings and attacks increase in waters up and down the Atlantic Coast, research scientists say to expect more and point to climate change, and the rebounding of the shark population as the reasons.
Researchers say shark populations, which declined as much as 90 percent from the 1970s to the 1990s, are now rebounding as the ecosystem resettles, Robert Hueter, the chief scientist of Ocearch, told The New York Times.
But, Hueter also points to climate change at work, saying sharks have moved up the coast to the New York Bight, a wedge formed by the shorelines of Long I…
