"Most of this is to the north of us because the main area of low pressure is far enough to the north that we only get kind of clipped by this clipper system," FOX 5 NY's Mike Woods said.
Northern portions of central and upstate New York state may end up seeing higher accumulations of more than a foot thanks to lake-effect snow.

Mid-winter weather outlook: ‘6 more weeks’ of winter
FOX 5 NY’s Nick Gregory said the NYC area has the potential for several more inches of snow, according to his mid-winter forecast.
Winter snowfall forecast.
Only one or two decent storms will help us reach the projected total, and Nick forecasts that February will provide the perfect conditions for winter storm development.
The U.S. is experiencing a strong El Niño, meaning the Tri-State is more likely to see warmer-than-average temperatures and wetter-than-average precipitation.
As we move forward, strong El Niño conditions will continue, meaning February will feature the same type of weather we've seen: above-average temperatures and borderline rain-snow events.
"I think winter will be prolonged here, and I do think that we'll probably have a good surge of cold weather coming in the middle part of February, [creating the potential for a snow storm or two," Nick said.
