Spring? Not So Fast! Big Snow Could Return To Albany Friday

Just when you thought we were out of the woods, Old Man Winter is pulling the cruelest of moves.

As I am writing this, it is 60 degrees outside the WGNA studios. And I am having a hard time accepting the fact that at this time on Friday I will be cleaning snow off of my car. But that is late February/Early March in Upstate New York!

According to the National Weather Service, a Winter Storm Watch has been issued for most of the Capital Region late Thursday into Frida, and areas west of Albany could see up to a foot of snow, with Albany and surrounding areas getting up to 7 or 8 inches. These are worst case scenearios, and even if the storm comes in weaker than expected, we still have potential for a decent amount of snow to kick off March.

This here is the worst case scenario snowfall totals:

And depending on how the storm develops, another scenario:

Either way, get ready for snow Friday. And Happy Spring!
