Spring Snow Falls Across Upstate New York

Several inches of snow have fallen on parts of eastern New York where forecasters say up to a foot of wet, heavy snow could blanket some areas.

The National Weather Service says 1 to 3 inches of snow has fallen Friday morning in an area stretching from the Catskills through the Mohawk Valley to the Albany area and the Berkshires.

Meteorologists say some valley areas could get up to 6 inches of snow, while higher elevations in the southern Adirondacks and near the Vermont and Massachusetts borders could get as much as 12 inches. The snow will turn to rain and possibly sleet later Friday in some areas.
