but harriet and her mate welcoming the first of their off spring. this eaglet born just a few hours ago is named e-9 for eaglet 9. these names are very exciting, i know. but i know millions of people have been watching on the web cam and big anticipation of the eaglet being hatched and so far one has and we ll be waiting on the next one and bring that to you when it does happen. millions of people in fact from connecticut to maine, they are feeling the effects of a massive nor easter. the storm dropped more than two feet of snow in some areas over the past few days. 25,000 structures remain witho powein par of maine. joining me to talk about this is msnbc meteorologist bonnie schneider. what is happening t there this morning? people are still shoveling out. it takes a while when you have over two feet of snow. that he s what happened in a lost maine. 27 inches, the highest amount in naples, maine. we saw snow in vermont, new hampshire, massachusetts and pennsylvania and upstate new y
bombs out and drops down it will be more towards maine than areas into new york or boston, but let s break it down for you, the snow is for interior new england and the coastal low will cause some very strong winds and we re always watching that, even early in the season for beach erosion. here s when the storm will be intense off the coast of maine. notice the heavy snow predicted into vermont and new hampshire and lake effect snow with the system, as well. i ve updated the snowfall total map to give you a better idea we re looking at the potential for the snow to go into massachusetts, even worcester, we could see three to six inches or maybe more. it depends on the track of the low and that s why the storms are so tricky. one thing we re confident on is the heavy snowfall that will occur into the mountains and new hampshire and into vermont and maine. looks like maine will see the bulk of the heaviest snow, but keep in mind as the storm pulls away, we ll get the lake effect snow beh
reynolds wrote, thank you to everyone who s embraced the gifts and talents of my beloved and amazing daughter. i m grateful for your thoughts and prayers that are now guiding her to her next stop. now a check on weather. good morning, chris, we are getting ready for the first big storm of the season and this ll affect interior areas. ski resorts are probably thrilled. these winter storm warnings are for thursday, so for tomorrow. notice we have a lake effect snow advisory because behind this system we ll get the colder air over the warmer waters of the great lakes and enhance snow there. this is how it starts, front coming through, triggering downpours into mississippi and alabama later on today, threat of hail, we ll be watching for that. eventually the front pushes to the east, all the way to the east, and low pressure develops offshore. once it does, we re looking at a nor easter. the track of the low could make a big difference whether or not
we see more rain or snow, but at present we re looking at temperatures too warm for a snow event in new york city or even in boston, looks like it will be more of a rain event there, but areas north and west, snow, and it could be heavy at times. as we work our way from thursday into friday, storm will move quickly and by the time it gets most intense, meaning that low pressure will drop, very, very quickly in a short amount of time, we ll see it more impacting maine, so look for more through this region and behind it, of course, lake effect snow. the question is, how much snow will we see? looks like we ll see the heaviest amounts here, there s mt. washington for you, high elevation, and, of course, much of maine. we could see 15 inches, maybe more, in some areas. really depends where you re located on how much snow you ll get. i m expecting snow through worcester, massachusetts, hartford, connecticut, rain, not heavy accumulation, but notice again behind the system we have lake effec
lake effect snow into upstate new york, some of that coming through. this is the beginning, we re likely to see more in the days to come. elsewhere across the country, rain coming in, still unsettled for much of the pacific northwest. doesn t look like that situation is changing too much as we go forward. looking at our future cast just a few showers but the next system coming onshore will bring more rain and mountain snow. this has been an active season so far for the northwest in terms of getting that snow. across the country, the record highs are likely to persist today. look at the numbers, 80 degrees in dallas today, hard to believe we re wrapping up december, but the mild weather persists along the gulf coast and southeast, getting cooler, though, in the northeast as we prepare for the nor easter and then the pocket of cold air into the rockies and the mountains. thursday as we watch for rain in the cities like boston and new york, we will see snow once again into pennsylvania, u
