We may have missed the big snows from the coastal storm that dumped measurable snow on those up-and-down the East Coast — but it doesn’t mean we’re seeing spring-like conditions.
Forecasters say that measurable snow is coming — but won’t make it to the region until this evening and overnight. As the nor’easter pulls off the coast — the lake effect machine will pickup with some light to moderate accumulation in the Finger Lakes.
Most of the region should only see 2-4 inches of snow, but those along the coast and in the Bristol Hills could see upwards of 4-6 inches by morning.
Temperatures will hover around 30 degrees, or push into the low-30s for those locations that get some breaks of sun during the afternoon. With the addition of a light breeze — it will feel like mid-winter, instead of late-winter or early-spring.
The pattern looks like it will remain active over the next several days in the region.

We may not be shoveling this morning, but we are doing some shivering. Wind chills are down in the teens across much of the area right now. #ROC #WNY #FLX #WX pic.twitter.com/PD3wAwHqin

Some of the quietest weather in all of the Northeast is right here in Western New York today. A cloudy Thursday awaits. It will be chilly, but you can expect nothing more than a flurry. Steadier snow returns late tonight. Today's high: 34. #ROC pic.twitter.com/SNAmcYzzpo
