Things are coming into better focus for the snow events this week. Tuesday's snow looks relatively minor, but a moderate snowfall is possible for Wednesday night into Thursday.
Despite the 50-degree temperatures today (Monday), we should see snow up and down the county during the day tomorrow. NWS Albany shows the snow starting around 10 AM. Most locations will see an inch or so, with higher elevations in the east-facing slopes will see around 3 inches of snow. The snow should end well before midnight.

The evening commute looks to be messy tomorrow night.
The snow for Wednesday night appears as if it will be more substantial, but this storm will be one of those ones where there is a sharp line for snow. Those above the line should see 4-6 inches; those below the line will see 1-2 inches then a changeover to rain. Right now the two preferred models are showing very different outcomes. The Euro is showing 6" above I-90 and 4" in southern portions of the County. The North American model is only showing 2" for the northern half of the county.

The forecast for the Wednesday night/Thursday storm will be in flux right up to the start of the storm. Even though it's vacation week, we are rooting for the Euro come through so we can squeeze out a few more weeks of skiing and outdoor winter activities.
The colleges aren't on vacation. What are our chances of a Thursday snow day?
