A weak-to-moderate winter storm will pass off the East Coast this weekend, and it should bring the New York City and other coastal areas in the tri-state their first measurable snow. It won’t be a blockbuster snow event, but snow lovers should be delighted nonetheless. Snow totals will range from 1-3 inches in many places in the region, with lower totals north and potentially higher totals south, into South Jersey, Delaware and Maryland. So when does it all start? Precipitation from the storm moves in late Saturday evening and could start as rain at the immediate coast.  Saturday temperatures will be above freezing, but will quickly dip to freezing or slightly below overnight. That’s when the brunt of the precipitation is set to fall, and that means it will change over to snow.  When you wake up Sunday morning, don’t be surprised to see a crisp layer of white outside your window! Typically, New York City gets its first measurable snow sometime during the second week of December, so Sunday morning’s snow is right on schedule. Temperatures will largely remain below freezing into early next week, so whatever snow does accumulate, it’ll stick around for at least a couple of days. When will storm hit?
