We all knew this mild, snow-free weather wouldn’t last long.
A system moving toward the Northeast will dump three to six inches of snow in the Capital Region, and five to 10 inches in Eastern Rensselaer and Columbia counties by the end of the day tomorrow.
The most troublesome part is that the heaviest snow will be falling during the morning rush hour, sometime between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m., said Hugh Johnson, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Albany. Johnson said at times, the snow will be accumulating up to an inch an hour.
“It could be a pretty nasty morning rush,” Johnson said.
Snow could start falling around midnight tonight, and then taper off by early afternoon Monday. However, lighter snow could still be plaguing the Capital Region into Monday night.
Temperatures will drop from the milder weather the area has been experiencing. Monday will reach into the high 20s, with lows in the low 20s.

ALBANY — Yet another winter storm swept into the area this morning, but so far, police say, the snow has caused few problems on the roadways.
Air travel is another story. Three Albany International Airport flights bound for the New York City area, which is also being hit by the storm, were cancelled. Other flights to East Coast cities were delayed, according to the airport’s Web site.
Forecasters are calling for periods of light to moderate snow through 8 a.m. in the southern Adirondacks and greater Capital Region, trailing off afterwards. A snow advisory will will remain in effect until noon.
State Police said drivers should be cautious of ice when the travel on the Thruway, but there have been no serious accidents on the highway.
It’s much the same story on local roads, police said.
The heaviest snow was expected to fall during this morning’s rush hour, sometime between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m., according to the National Weather Service in Albany.
The storm is the latest of several that have hit the region on Monday mornings during the past two months.
Monday’s snow was a big change from just one week ago. On Jan. 8, temperatures hit a record high of 60. Warm temperatures continued for several days, melting much of the snow left from the nearly 3 feet that fell in December.
A snow advisory has been issued for the Mohawk Valley, the Capital Region and the Lake George area. A heavy-snow warning is in effect for south and east of Albany, particularly the New York City area and Massachusetts.
Temperatures will drop from the milder weather the area has been experiencing. Today will reach into the high 20s, with lows in the low 20s.
