"Elsewhere, a dusting of snow less than 0.5" is possible, mainly on Thursday with a chance of light snow showers or flurries," the NWS said in a post on X.

What they're saying:

"There are some snow showers that pass through very briefly, maybe for a couple of hours as we head through the afternoon Thursday into the evening," FOX 5 NY's Mike Woods said. "Maybe even some slick conditions on some of the roadways before this thing continues to head out into the Atlantic waters."

"Looks like for the most part, it's almost a blanket half an inch of snow," Woods said. "A coating, maybe a little bit better than that."
