The low pressure center will continue to the north into the
Canadian Maritimes overnight, with snowfall ending south to north
across New England as the system moves away. The last of the snow
should end for eastern Maine early Sunday morning. Another 4-6
inches of snow is likely for eastern Maine, with a couple more
inches further south across southern New England. Isolated higher
totals are possible in the remaining heavy snow bands. In addition
to the snowfall, overnight temperatures will be bitterly cold
across New England as lows dip into the single digits to a few
degrees below zero. These cold temperatures along with ongoing
winds will lead to wind chills of 15-25 degrees below zero Sunday
morning across interior portions of New England and New York.

The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 1000 AM EST. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
