A snowstorm is developing over the Mid-Atlantic just in time to impact holiday shopping. The Weather Channel says they are still unsure whether the big Northeast cities like New York City and Boston will get dumped on as well.
There will be a major snow event for western and central North Carolina. There will be a major snow event for nearly the entire state of Virginia. Washington, DC - this is still a major snowstorm for you. Delaware, you are in the snow crosshairs too. South Jersey, get ready for a plowable snow.
This is where things get tricky. Does the winter storm take more of an easterly track and move away from the big Northeast cities of the I-95 corridor.
Or does the winter storm, intensify into an even more powerful storm, head north and produce blizzard conditions for Philadelphia, New York City and eventually Boston.
Chain Store Agereports that the business weather-intelligence firm Planalytics believes the storm will reduce foot traffic at stores and malls on "Super Saturday" and could shift more shopping online.
