(The data within this analogy WILL change a bit as time progresses, and is only a brief concept of what is being seen as of now) Observing the top header image of this Blog, you can easily see the synoptic boundary that has merely been somewhat peeled back eastwards, off the continent, and onward into the northwestern Atlantic a bit. This was the continental Low that developed as a massive cyclone out in the northern Pacific, and came ashore to cross and influence most of the USA. This was not in any way a Nor'Easter, unless you simply would like to describe the brief northeastern winds associated with it's approach to the coast. Yet it still managed a solid 2 feet of snow in some locations of NW New England.

But now, if we take a look at some modeling data in the next image below, let's take a note of that pretty considerable High that's drifting SE across the middle of the continent (see image #1 below), and soon settling into the "Bermuda High" region by mid-week. That High will be a steering influence for the approaching next storm system. 

This is a little more complex sequence. There will be numerous Lows riding in Canada, eastwards, along that cold air mass's southern regions. Our next incoming Low will not dig into the South like the recent one did. Instead this Low is expected to redevelop as far north as nearly Montana, (see image #2 below) dip southeast for a bit, and then get influenced by the aforementioned Bermuda High air mass. In turn, this will reroute the low towards the Great Lakes....
