The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is up with a pulled-back perspective on the nor-easter getting ready to dump massive amounts of snow on the northeast.

Here's NOAA's summary of where they expect things to go:
A major winter storm in the process of developing is bringing snow to the Ohio Valley and mid-Atlantic. Blizzard Warnings are in effect for the coastal areas from New Jersey to Maine.
