"The snow will be light and fluffy at first before a crusty covering of sleet and ice compresses it and makes it more difficult to shovel," Noll said Thursday morning.

Hudson Valley Weather thinks snow will develop between 10 p.m. Thursday and 1 a.m. Friday. Periods of moderate to heavy snow will fall after 1 a.m. Snow will change to sleet south of I-84 between 4 a.m. and 7 a.m. and between 7 a.m. and noon north of I-84. Snow should taper off between noon and 3 p.m.

As of this writing, Hudson Valley Weather predicts 3 to 8 inches of snow for the Mid Hudson Valley, 5 to 9 inches for the Catskills and Upper Hudson Valley, and 2 to 6 inches for the Lower Hudson Valley.
