Parts of New York are bracing for up to a foot of snow this weekend while New Jersey and Connecticut could see 6 inches.
The Capital Region is preparing to dig out with 5 to 8 inches of snow expected to pile high in the Albany area as the storm system moves through.
Six inches or more are possible in parts of Connecticut and New Jersey, especially in Sussex and Morristown, Fox Weather’s Marissa Lautenbacher told The Post Friday.
However, coastal regions like New York City and Long Island should keep their umbrellas nearby as these areas are more than likely going to see rain with a possible snow mix.
“It’s not going to be tons in terms of snow,” Lautenbacher said.

“If we do get snow, it’s going to be wet, slushy snow.”
The Big Apple and Long Island are on the “cusp” of the storm, but moving more north and west, the nor’easter gets stronger going into the weekend.
A second storm system will start forming Monday in the Great Plains and move across the Midwest toward the Northeast in the early parts of next week.
The Midwest could experience “blizzard conditions” in areas of Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri. Although these areas won’t see mountains of snow — with accumulations estimated around 3 to 8 inches — residents could see blowout conditions and strong winds, including some high wind gusts.

Houston to the Carolinas could experience “severe threats” Monday and Tuesday with possible flash flooding, tornados, wind gusts, and hail.
The storm will largely affect the Gulf Coast on Monday before moving toward Florida and the Carolinas on Tuesday.
As it moves up the East Coast, New York City can expect rain and possibly flooding on Tuesday and Wednesday as 2 to 3 inches get dumped along the coastline.

As we head into mid-January, the cold is mainly trapped in Canada, but as winter continues, it will eventually open up into the US and there will be “more chances of snow.” FoxWeatherAs for a white winter in the city, it’s not entirely out of the cards as we head into mid-January. Lautenbacher said it was expected we’d see a quieter December in New York City, but several storm systems are brewing to start the new year.
As January progresses, the US will start to see an “active pattern,” she said.
The cold is mainly trapped in Canada at the moment, but as winter continues it will eventually open up into the US and there will be “more chances of snow,” Lautenbacher said.
Big Apple students, however, shouldn’t get their hopes up about frolicking in any white stuff when it does fall — Schools Chancellor David Banks said at the beginning of the year that there are no more snow days thanks to remote learning.
