Super Bowl Sunday is going to be a little snowy.
Local forecasters and the National Weather Service agree that as two systems work together around the Finger Lakes to bring snow. However, it won’t be a situation where the region will be buried in fresh snow.
FLX Weather Meteorologist Drew Montreuil explains:
The set up for Sunday is rather complex as one system swings through the Great Lakes and another develops along the coast. The snow may fall at a moderate rate at times, yet accumulations will be kept in check by a number of factors.
Those east of the Finger Lakes will likely see bigger accumulations — but those staying put in the region on Sunday should only see 1 to 3 inches throughout most of the area.
