Nor’easter Brings First Snow to Northeast & Great Lakes
US · Published Nov 12, 2026
• A developing nor’easter is expected to bring the season’s first accumulating snow to parts of the Northeast and Great Lakes later this week.
• According to AccuWeather, the storm will strengthen as it approaches the Atlantic Coast, bringing rain and mountain snow from Thursday night through Saturday.

Impact & Risks

The nor’easter could disrupt travel across affected regions, with rain, low clouds, fog, and possible aircraft deicing contributing to flight delays. Wet snow accumulation in higher terrain may lead to isolated power outages and broken tree limbs. Areas such as the Green and White Mountains, Adirondacks, and Appalachians are at higher risk for significant snowfall. Communities close to the Great Lakes may experience brief snow showers, while cities like Washington, D.C., and Boston are likely to see rain with minimal snow impact. The intensity of precipitation could result in varying conditions over short distances.
