"The models continue to show a nor'easter with blockbuster potential for the weekend, mainly late Friday through Saturday," CNN meteorologist Brandon Miller says. There are still questions about how much snow will pile up and how extreme winds will get. "Heavy snow is most likely in parts of New England," the Weather Prediction Center said Wednesday morning.

Philadelphia, New York and Boston could get a foot of snow -- or much more.Winds of 50 mph or more are likely throughout the Northeast, with even higher gusts possible, especially along the eastern coastlines.
