Cities along the Eastern Corridor are expecting the first winter storm snowfall of the season bringing an icy mix of snow, sleet, and rain across the mid-Atlantic region.

On Thursday, New York City is expected to see the least amount of snow, with a slushy coating to one inch with gusts from 8 to 12 mph will make the air feel colder than the 36 degrees. Thursday night will bring rain, heavy at times, with wind gusts working their way to 21 mph in some areas.

Other New York counties such as Cortland, Steuben, Tioga, Seneca, Schuyler and Yates counties could see anywhere from seven to eight inches of snow.

According to the National Weather Service, “an initial shot of steady snow is anticipated Thursday afternoon” followed by heavy snow late on Thursday night and into Friday morning.
