 Sure feels like winter

I think the forecast generally verified fairly well!

Across far northern New York state And across northern Vermont New Hampshire into Maine picked up a general 2-6 " of snow, With some areas picking up close to 9" of snow. The lower elevations also picked up couple of inches. From what I can see Berkshire and Litchfield counties in Massachusetts picked up a dusting to near an inch.

Today is cold With Interior temperatures running in The 20°s into 30°s with temperatures even along the coast running in the low 40°s. These north westerly winds are running 10 to near 30 miles an hour, with some gusts as high as 35 mph. Making for very cold feel like temperatures.

Looking at the radar map, we can see the northwest wind orientation means Lake Erie and Lake Ontario are getting an upper lake connection with Lake Huron and Georgian bay. This is enhancing the lake effect snow bands and allowed them to extend well away from the lakes Into northwest Pennsylvania and across New York State even down into the Poconos and Catskills. The air is cold enough that even Lake Champlain is producing some lake effect snow.  

For today, The lake effect is going to continue. With areas closer to the lake Who have already picked up 1-6 inches of snow to pick up another 1-6+ inches of snow During the rest of the day into tonight. For the hills South of buffalo another 1-4 " of snow coming off lake Erie is possible today. Elsewhere For the Adirondacks Greens and Whites these areas could see another 2-4 " of snow today. With much of the rest of New York state And northern into central New England seeing another dusting to an inch of snow.

Tomorrow another system will move through. With the chilly temperatures the area seeing snow today could pick up another dusting to an inch or so of snow With the Adirondacks and Whites and Greens seeing perhaps 2-4 inches of additional snow. With those in the lake snow belts seeing an additional few inches of snow as well. Isolated rain showers and possibly a few higher elevation snow showers will be possible for the rest of the region.

Thursday We will once again see some troughs move through but temperatures will be warming so that should shut off the lake effect snow coming off the lakes temporarily. Northern parts of our region will see a mix of rain showers and snow showers. Then the rest of the region will be dealing with rain showers. The rain showers will become more isolated the further south you go.  The cold air returns for Friday, as a back door cold front moves across New England into New York State. Right now New England Into northern and central New York State look to cool back off with the rest of the region seeing their temperatures moderate as high pressure approaches. The high pressure will be overhead for Saturday. So the vast majority of the region will be cool, but the conditions should be fairly tranquil. On Sunday A warm front will approach and move through. Along the leading edge of this front scattered snow showers will be possible, especially in the higher elevations. We could also see a mixture of sleet/ice over New York State and New England. That could make travel problematic. As temperatures warm this mix should change over to rain showers. For Monday behind the front, conditions will clear but that cold air filtering back in behind the front will bring back lake effect snow on the leeward sides of Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. High pressure looks to move back in for Tuesday. The region should be generally dry But there will still be a chance for lingering lake effect downwind of the lakes. Temperatures on Tuesday will remain chilly.
