Throughout Friday night and Saturday morning, forecasts across the Catskills region are calling for a weather phenomenon we haven't seen much of this March: Snow.
Alas, it's too late for the ski slopes: All four of the region's ski centers, Belleayre, Plattekill, Windham and Hunter, closed for the season last weekend.
The Wall Street Journal doesn't expect it to stick around:
Up to four inches of snow could fall in the Catskills and some parts of the Hudson Valley, and a dusting could reach as far south as Westchester or the Bronx. Wherever it falls, the snow will likely melt Saturday as the atmosphere warms and snowflakes turn to raindrops.
