Chances for Snow This Week (March 7-13)

It's been a few days since we've last written due to the end of vacation week and all the mild weather we've been experiencing. We definitely do no encourage you to put the shovels away just yet, but temps in the 60s sure felt nice on Sunday.

Winter, though, is still lurking out there somewhere, and we should see the Old Man make an appearance or two over the next few weeks.

First up is a chance for lake effect snow on Tuesday. A few flakes may make it all the way across New York state and coat the ground in the Berkshires, so don't be surprised to see a flurry or two.

Snow potential for Wednesday (European model). The American model keeps the snow well to our south.

On Wednesday, the northern fringe of a storm system to our south could spread snow showers and even an inch or two over southern portions of the county (see above). That snow will likely take place during the day on Wednesday if it happens at all.

On the weekend, we could see rain change to snow on Saturday. We could get a minor coating or we could get several inches (2-4)--it all depends on how deep the cold air gets sucked into the region due to the storm. In terms of the impact on travel, the Saturday storm is the one we're most interested in monitoring.

Saturday into Sunday snowfall potential

And in the "long, long shot" category, we are seeing some models predicting a sizable nor'easter for the 20th. We've been down this road many times this winter--so don't even think about getting excited--but it is nice to know that one big storm is still within the realm of possibility.
