New York and New England could see their first dusting of snow this weekend and into early next week. The dusting will be held to just the highest peaks in the Adirondacks and Presidential Ranges. To the north, in Canada, the snow has already fallen on Quebec’s Gaspe Peninsula.

Look for ski areas to start blowing snow once temps drop below 32.
