The NBC5 First Warning Weather team is monitoring the potential for locally heavy lake-effect snow to impact the Thanksgiving Day holiday for some towns in Northern New York. On Thanksgiving itself, a persistent lake-effect snow band off Lake Ontario will continue to impact St. Lawrence County and the western Adirondacks. Under the most intense parts of the band, travelers may encounter slick roads, rapidly changing visibility, and localized higher snowfall totals.Vermont could see isolated afternoon snow showers, but overall impacts will be limited to places like Jay Peak and Mount Mansfield.By Friday, colder air behind a passing front will shift the lake-effect band farther south while opening the door to upslope snow on the northwestern slopes of the Adirondacks and Green Mountains. A few additional inches of accumulation are possible in the higher elevations, which may continue minor travel concerns into the start of the weekend.Conditions gradually calm by Saturday afternoon, with winds easing and snow showers tapering off.
