A fast-moving scissor system will bring light snow or a wintry mix to parts of the Great Lakes and inland Northeast as it slides across the area on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
What is the scissor system time?
On Sunday (New Year’s Eve), light snow or a wintry mix is expected as a shear system slides southeast from the Great Lakes region through the central Appalachians.
“It really starts to pick up late in the evening,” said FOX Weather Meteorologist Kiyana Lewis. “Notice how we’re going to see snow from Chicago, back into Detroit, certainly across Cleveland, where we have that rain-to-snow mix. And then in that south, we’re actually still looking at rain for today’s ride.”

The system initially produced areas of freezing drizzle across the Upper Midwest late Saturday into early Sunday, leading to slick roads that sparked several accidents when drivers were caught off guard by patches of ice.

“It’s turning to snow overnight, and we’ll actually see a resurgence of this snow along the central Appalachians as we head into early tomorrow (Monday),” Lewis added. “The Ohio Valley, back toward the mid-Atlantic, is next in line to see some of that active weather.” How much snow is expected?
Less than an inch of snow with a light frost of ice is expected in most areas between New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
Parts of the higher elevations of the central Appalachians could receive higher local snow totals, ranging from 2 to 4 inches.

High winds can create blowing snow
Even if there is not much snow, strong winds can blow some of the snow around, leading to areas of blowing and drifting snow that reduce visibility.
“Associated with this cutter, we’re also seeing higher gusts coming through,” Lewis said. “So we’re going to see wind gusts anywhere between 10 to 20 (mph), 20 to 30 mph as this continues to move from west to east.”
