The nor'easter storm will not blanket the entire Northeast in snow, here's what the forecasters are saying

Across much of the central and eastern parts of the United States, it has been the warmest fall on record. But forecasters say the weather is about to change: A nor'easter storm is expected to bring the season's first snow to seven northeastern states this weekend. Parts of the Midwest region and Ohio Valley are also likely to receive their first snow of this season.

Where will the season's first snow fall?

Residents across Upstate New York, northern Pennsylvania, western Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and most of Maine are likely to witness snow for the first time this season as a storm rips through the region on Thursday before transitioning into a nor'easter on Friday (Nov. 13), according to Fox Weather.


Snow is also expected to spread across the interior northeast on Friday night as the nor'easter moves north.

The coast and Interstate 95 corridor will see widespread rain, but temperatures would remain too warm to support snow. Meanwhile, portions of far-northwestern Connecticut could get a coating of snow.

The biggest accumulations of snow are expected in New England's Green and White Mountains, New York's Adirondacks, the Alleghany Plateau, and West Virginia Appalachians.

Lake Placid in New York could receive close to a foot of snow through Saturday, Fox Weather reported. The village, which hosted the 1980 Winter Olympics, is nestled in the Adirondacks at more than 1,800 feet above sea level.

Saranac Lake, less than 10 miles west of Lake Placid, is likely to receive 5 to 8 inches of snow.

Another region expected to get significant snow is Rutland in central Vermont, with 5 to 8 inches of snow likely. Burlington, Vermont is expected to see between 1 and 3 inches of snow.

Albany, New York, and Portland in Maine could both see a coating to an inch of snow.

What is the temperature forecast?

The region around Marquette, Michigan, could see 5-8 inches of snow from Friday through Saturday. Valparaiso, Indiana, also appears to be in the zone of 5-8 inches of snow this weekend. But Michigan City, which is just 20 miles away, will likely receive only a coating to an inch of snow.

Amid the storm, unusually cold air will blow southward this weekend, with early morning temperatures forecast to be in the upper 30s in northern Florida and freezing temperatures predicted in a corridor from Mississippi to Georgia.
