Ugh ... let's hope the storm does not track close to the coast.

"A Nor'easter will develop well southeast of Montauk Point Saturday night and track towards the Canadian Maritimes on Sunday," the NWS says. "Based on the current forecast track, light snow is expected Saturday into early Sunday. But if the track were to shift slightly closer to the coast, this storm could bring a much more significant snowfall to the region." 

Right now, the chance for a significant snowfall is low for this area, "but emergency managers and residents need to monitor National Weather Service forecasts for updates late today into the weekend," NWS says.
