The Nor'easter is passing through Atlantic Canada predominantly on Wednesday, transitioning overnight into Thursday. At the moment, the U.S. Eastern Seaboard will mostly see the Nor'easter falling as rain, says Weather Network meteorologist Brett Soderholm.

"In and west of major U.S. cities along the I-95 will see the Nor'easter's impact on air travel and road travel," says Weather Network meteorologist Dr. Doug Gillham.
Gillham lists Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and New York among the major U.S. cities to see heavy rain and snowfall.
"Heavy rain will first hit the Eastern Seaboard, and it will later result in heavy snowfall," he adds. Up to 30 cm of snow is expected to hit the aforementioned cities, and other major areas
In Canada, Soderholm adds that the Bay of Fundy regions will see localized mixing, and freezing rain this week, which will eventually develop into snow Thursday and Friday. Snow will also be seen into the Annapolis Valley, NS, and Queens Valley, P.E.I.
