Winter storm Damon will produce a variety of wintry weather across the Northeast through Thursday. This system does not have a lot of cold air to work with. So, rather than a mid-winter Nor'Easter that produces a major snow storm for New England, this system will have to work to get a snow storm anywhere. The best ways to get to cold air are to travel north into Upstate New York as an example, or to go up a few hundred feet in elevation. Significant snowfall will be limited to Upstate New York and parts of Western New England with the higher elevations of the Adirondacks, Catskills and Poconos seeing the bulk of the higher snowfall totals. This will also be a heavy, wet variety of snow so there is potential to see power outages where it snows the most from this storm. There will also be pockets of icing in portions of Interior New England where cold air stays locked in at the surface through this evening. Note, the snowfall actually is found as far west as Buffalo and could even affect Cleveland. That is due to the track this system will take, actually moving back toward the Northwest as it heads through New England and into the province of Quebec.
In addition to the wintry side, this systems produces strong winds along the New England coast through Wednesday morning and heavy rainfall. A variety of flood advisories are out for this region.
