Snow is finally forecast to drop into the Northeast USA!

NOAA & The Weather Channel are forecasting snow for New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.

Some locally heavy snow is possible
over the higher summits of the Adirondacks and Green Mountains
Saturday night.

Some locally heavy snowfall is possible Sunday over the higher summits

Up to 8″ of snow are forecast.

New York and Vermont are forecast to get the most snow.

“Still looks like an elevation event snow this weekend for parts of Upstate New York, mainly the High Peaks of the Adirondacks, but parts of the Catskills could also see snow. In addition, the Northeast Kingdom in Vermont will see snow at higher elevations. Below is the latest official forecast and the NCEP probability of at least 8″ of snow through Sunday morning.” – Tom Niziol/Weather Channel, today

"I also created a graph to show the range of probabilities for snowfall amounts across the Adirondacks this weekend. Because forecasting exact snowfall amounts is still a tremendous challenge, snowfall probability forecasts are a very good way to give an idea of what the odds are for various amounts of snowfall in your area. If you are a Highway Dept. for example, you may not make a decision to bring out extra crews to plow until there is at least a 60% chance of 8" of snow for the town. I hope to provide more of these types of charts as we get into the winter season this year." - Tom Niziol. image: weather channel
