I'm kind of thinking this one(if at all) will amount to little more than a barely cover up the unraked leaves event where some snow falls 
The set up that is keeping us in this GREAT cold air is VERY, VERY strong and DRY, to the point where some decent storms rolling into British Columbia recently have been basically getting squeezed of all their moitsure by the time they get to basically the Mississippi River.
The models show that the HUGE dip in the East part of the Jetstream that current is in place wants to try and flatten out next week, which should help the Northeast for storm track favorability. But, my hunch is that it's going to take a sizeable low pressure system as this change is happening to be able to produce anything of significance given that it will be moisture starved when it gets to the EAST Coast and it doesn't seem like there will be much, if any blocking system to keep the low in a favorable position to rack up some decent accumulation
What wouldn't suprise me is that if this talked about low before Thanksgiving is the catalyst to get the storm track that we need for a major East Coast event, once that happens, there has been/appears that there will be a decent supply of low pressure systems that should be heading for the Northern US West Coast/Southern Canadian West Coast that could become beneficial for East Coast snow accumulation.
Just remember though, what mother nature does and what weather forcasting models THINK she'll do are often very, very different
