Wintry Storm to Spread October Snow Across U.S. Northeast

The season’s first “nor’easter” will spread snow and heavy rain across New York and the U.S. Northeast tomorrow, the National Weather Service said.

Higher temperatures in New York City may mean a half-inch to an inch of snow (1 to 3 centimeters) sticking to grass while leaving pavement clear, said Tim Morrin, a weather service meteorologist in Upton, New York. Fifty miles north and west of the city, 6 inches or more may fall, with a foot of snow spreading into southern New England.
