A fast-moving clipper-like weather system will pass near the region tonight and Saturday, bringing a quick-moving round of steady light snow to the area. As things stand right now, our region will be on the far northeastern edged of the storm’s steady precipitation shield, with the heaviest snow well to our south and west (NY State, W CT). Even so, we should see several hours of steady light to moderate snow and given the very cold air mass in place, the fluffy snow will have no trouble sticking and accumulating. Odds favor a general 1 to 3 inches of snow by the time things taper down Saturday – it should be a very wintry scene around the area Saturday morning.
