Some parts of the Tri-State area could see up to a foot of snow as a nor’easter barrels its way toward the region.

The latest winter storm to take aim at the area is expected to begin early Thursday morning and end early Friday morning, dumping 6 to 10 inches on New York City and surrounding areas, according CBS 2 meteorologist Lonnie Quinn.

Just to the north along the Interstate 95 corridor, totals are expected to be higher – topping out at 14 inches in some areas.

But the storm will go on for 24 hours, and the snow is expected to continue for eight hours straight – falling at a rate of an inch and hour during certain periods.

But there is enough punch in the storm to give some parts of the area 18 inches of snow or more, Quinn reported.

One model shows 9.1 in the city, and as much as 14.4 inches in some outlying areas. But another model shows a foot of accumulation in some areas.

The snow will mix with and perhaps change to sleet in the city and along the coast, the forecast says.
