Current Snow Total forecast through Sunday from 6 Weather Forecasting Offices (WFO's). Nice to see they all have the same color Legend now!
NWS Albany bearish on any snow accumulations.. They're thinking sleet/ice will hold down/prevent any snow accumulations with a fast changeover.
Northern New England with a good snowfall once again but even they will change to rain I think.
