A graphic about the overall forecast calls for “big snowstorms” for most of New York State and “Blizzard Watch” for the parts. The Hudson Valley is located in both areas.
This suggests that several storms could bring heavy snow totals, likely meaning multiple inches or even feet of snow.

The “big snowstorms” and “blizzard watch” mean the Hudson Valley is in the danger zone for some of the winter’s biggest storms.
If these predictions ring true, expect multiple chances of big snow events this winter.
The forecast highlights an “active” storm track for the East Coast and Northeast. This means higher chances of major winter storms and significant snow events.
When the cold air is locked in, be prepared for some big storms.
