March starts tomorrow! In some years Kingston sees a quick early March transition to spring, while in other years winter lingers into April. For this winter, don't expect a quick transition to spring anytime soon because this week looks very wintery.

Friday and Saturday
We'll will have two shots at light snow Friday and Saturday. The first shot is Friday morning. Just a very slight chance of light snow. If snow does materialize it is most likely to be between 6am and 9am. Any snow is expected to be too short in duration and probably too light in intensity to result in any last minute school impacts - I only mention it so you're not completely surprised if flakes begin to fall as you're preparing to leave the house. Zero accumulation to a dusting is possible. Another round of light snow is possible early Saturday morning. Any accumulations are likely to be less than two inches, mainly between about 1AM Saturday and 8AM Saturday.

Sunday/Monday nor'easter
Things get real on Sunday. Sunday we are likely to experience our first true nor'easter of the season. This storm should move up the coast with a large swath of snow. Impacts are likely to be very similar to our two large storms earlier this winter. At this time, KingstonSnows is expecting snow to develop Sunday afternoon and end Monday morning. A general 4 to 9 inches seems likely in Kingston at this time with an extreme range of 2 to 11 inches. Timing and accumulation details will be refined as we approach the weekend. For this storm, snow totals will likely be highest to our south with 6 to 12 inches possible between Ulster County and NYC. Lower storm totals of 2 to 6 inches are likely between Ulster County and the Albany Capitol District.

Behind the storm, dry but cold weather will filter in for the rest of the week. Highs for the remainder of the week will be in the 20s. Overnight lows will fall to the low teens. The cold should peak next Thursday morning with temperatures possibly in the single digits.

Although the forecast anticipates a likely range of 22 to 46 inches, there is about a 25% chance of less than 22 inches of snow, and a 25% chance of more than 46 inches of snow. It is important to remember that it only takes one well placed storm to dump significant snowfall. Additional details about how the forecast is made can be found HERE. We'll see how the forecast holds up by April!
