The area may have dodged two recent major snow storms, but it would appear our luck is up.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch, which stays in effect Tuesday evening through late Wednesday night in the North Country.
The storm, which is already blasting the Midwest, promises to bring heavy snow to the region, perhaps 8 to 16 inches, according to NWS.
They predict the snow will begin late Tuesday night and end early Thursday morning.
The heaviest snow will fall during the daytime hours on Wednesday.
Hazardous travel can be expected Tuesday night through Wednesday night, NWS reports.
Winds will be northeast at 5 to 10 mph.
Temperatures will rise from today’s frigid blast with highs 15 to 25. Lows will be -5 to 10 above.
Visibility is predicted to be 1/4 mile or less at times during the daytime hours on Wednesday.
According to NWS, a Winter Storm Watch means there is a potential for significant snow that may impact travel.
Well, does this mean, we can believe the weather forecast this go around? I suspect we can and should. My sister, who planned to visit called to say, "no way am I gonna drive in this crap." Syracuse is all ready getting hit and they know more is on the way. As for us, we get snow, then some wind and then, nothing but cold temps. However, if we believe the weather forecast, the snow shall hit later tonight and Wednesday -- lovely!!!
