A Clipper will bring snow to the Upper Midwest and northern Great Lakes
By Accuweather.com Meteorologist Henry Margusity
A rather vigorous Alberta Clipper will dive into the northern Great Lakes Wednesday. That clipper will intensify and become a strong storm system over the Northeast by Thursday. Over the next 24 hours, there will be a band of snowfalls north of the clipper track from North Dakota tonight, through Minnesota and into northern Michigan by Wednesday evening. These snow bands will leave 2-4 inches. The air behind the clipper will originate in the Arctic, which means that temperatures behind the storm will fall. Therefore, what snow falls may go from wet to powdery.


As the storm intensifies over the Northeast Thursday, the lake-effect snow will begin off lakes Erie and Ontario. Some of the favored lake-effect zones could get 6-12 inches of snow by Friday. In any case, flurries and squalls will be plentiful over Pennsylvania and New York with many areas perhaps having the first snowfall of the year.

Sounds good. I am hopeful that snow will be in the forecast for my area within the next 3 to 4 weeks.

JCT we might see some snow flurries thursday or thursday night with the wraparound from this storm. Just be paitant. We will get some good snow.

Right now, NWS--Buffalo is saying about an inch in LES squalls. It may be more, depending on how wide spread the LES and the intermittent squalls are.

I'm hoping at best we get a little dusting on grassy surfaces on Thursday night...that'll really get me into the Winter spirit!
