Forecasters Issue Latest Snow Total Predictions For Tuesday In Hudson Valley: Here’s What To Expect

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — Northern areas of the Hudson Valley are expected to get up to six inches of snow on Tuesday.

However, southern counties will have very little snow accumulation, according to meteorologists.
