00:00If you have heard about a northeast snowstorm late this week into the weekend, let's clear the air right now,
00:07get you an idea of what's actually going on, because anything you've been seeing on the internet that especially is
00:12not from a reliable source like AccuWeather probably is not exactly the clearest picture of what's going on.
00:19So first, we do have the coldest air mass of the season moving in all the way down even into
00:24Florida. So that does set the stage where, okay, we could see some snow, but it's not, you know, huge
00:32accumulations in the interior northeast, not at high elevations like you might be seeing.
00:37It's really just the mountains that are going to have a shot at accumulation for the most part. You know
00:42what the pink means? Well, sometimes it means ice, but in this scenario, it means rain-snow mix.
00:46So yes, for a lot of us, we're going to see our first snowflakes of the season. Something to look
00:51forward to. I feel like most people, the first snow of the season is exciting, but after that, and not
00:56everybody's on board.
00:58But as we look, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, it's not going to be cold enough for snow. It's going to
01:03be rain, but it's going to be cold rain is the thing, which at least is my least favorite kind
01:08of weather.
01:09But that aside, let's jump into more of the details here. So everybody highlighted in blue here, this is where
01:14we could have accumulation. Do you notice anything? It really is mostly our highest elevations.
01:21Above 2,000 feet is where we have the best shot of getting some kind of accumulation. We'll be able
01:25to get a little bit more detailed with totals as we get a little bit closer.
01:28I mean, it's, you know, early in the week after all, and we're talking about Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Let's talk
01:34temperatures, though, because here's the cold that either way, that's probably the biggest story for most of us.
01:38How cold is it about to get? Because some of us in the darkest blue, this is AccuWeather real feel
01:44highs in the 20s.
01:46So what it actually feels like outside, wind is going to be a factor here, but even New York in
01:51the 40s, Pittsburgh in the 30s, that's why we see some snowflakes.
