    The offshore low pressure system will quickly move up the East
    Coast and into Atlantic Canada tonight into Monday. Snow will
    continue to fall across portions of New England and the Northeast
    tonight before ending by Monday morning. In the storm's wake,
    bitterly cold Arctic air will grip the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast
    through the first half of the week with high temperatures only in
    the single digits and teens. Combined with gusty winds, wind
    chills will frequently dip below zero. The northwesterly winds
    will also produce additional snow showers for the typical upslope
    regions of the Appalachians and downwind of the Great Lakes.
    
    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.
