Hudson Valley Weather says the best chance at an all-snow event is north of I-84, where snowfall could come down at up to an inch per hour late Tuesday morning into the afternoon.

South of I-84 — places like SE Dutchess, Putnam, and eastern Orange — it gets complicated. Just a few miles could decide whether you get 6 inches of snow or less than 1 inch. A tiny 10–20 mile shift in the storm track could completely flip the forecast.
