A nor’easter is forecast to bring rain, wind and the season’s first significant snow to the Northeast starting Thursday. The Boston Globe, the New York Post and The Washington Times report snow forecast for higher elevations of upstate New York and northern New England, with rain expected at lower elevations. The Post reports that up to a foot of snow could fall in the highest Adirondacks and Vermont’s Green Mountains, with the heaviest snowfall expected Friday afternoon and evening. CBS News reports that the storm could also bring tornadoes, hail and heavy rain, followed by a steep drop in temperature, with many areas forecast to fall well below freezing. These are forecasts, and the totals and timing may change before the storm arrives.
