The satellite image, captured at 9:01 a.m. EST (on Feb. 8), shows clouds associated with the western frontal system stretching from Canada through the Ohio and Tennessee valleys, into the Gulf of Mexico.

The National Weather Service expects the merged storm to move northeast and drop between two to three feet of snow in parts of New England.
