A fast-moving clipper system will bring light snow or a wintry mix to parts of the Great Lakes and interior Northeast as it slides through those regions on New Year’s Eve and Day.
What is the timing of the hair clipper system?
On Sunday (New Year’s Eve), light snow or a wintry mix is expected as the clipper system slides southeast from the Great Lakes region across the central Appalachians.
“It really starts to pick up later in the afternoon hours,” said FOX Weather Meteorologist Kiyana Lewis. “Look how we will see snow showers from Chicago, back to Detroit, and it will certainly increase over Cleveland, where we have that mix of rain and snow. And then south of that, we’ll still see rain over the course of today.”

The system initially produced areas of freezing drizzle across the upper Midwest late Saturday night into early Sunday, leading to slick roads that led to several crashes as icy patches caught drivers by surprise.
Overnight Sunday and into Monday (New Year’s Day), the clipper system will bring snow to sections of the interior Northeast and mid-Atlantic.

“It turns to snow during the overnight hours and we will actually see this resurgence of snow across the central Appalachians as we head into the early hours of tomorrow (Monday),” Lewis added. “The Ohio Valley, toward the mid-Atlantic, is the next to see some of that active weather.” How much snow is expected?
Less than an inch of snow with a light coating of ice is expected in most areas between New Year’s Eve and Day.
Some of the higher elevations of the central Appalachians could see locally higher snowfall amounts, ranging from 2 to 4 inches.

Strong winds could create snow drifts
While the snow won’t be much, gusty winds could carry some of that snow, causing areas of drifting and drifting snow that will reduce visibility.
“Associated with this clipper ship, we also see those stronger wind gusts coming in,” Lewis said. “So we’re going to see wind gusts between 10 and 20 (mph), 20 to even 30 mph as it continues to move from west to east.”
