Hudson Valley: Light Snow Possible Presidents' Weekend

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — There's a chance of light snow in the weekend forecast. Meteorologists say most of the Hudson Valley has a 40-50 percent chance of snow Sunday night and Monday morning.

Because temperatures are expected to drop, we may not have a complete melt-off beforehand. It could be as if we put the icing on and then topped it with some powdered sugar.

"Much of the Hudson Valley looks like a mini-glacier, because of the 2 to 4 inches of glazed ice covering everything," said Alex Marra and Bill Potter of Hudson Valley Weather.

Speaking of totals, here's what the National Weather Service posted for Tuesday's storm:

Dutchess County

• Red Hook 4.5 inches
