Snow headed toward Massachusetts is called an Alberta clipper
CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – The snow that will be impacting western Massachusetts Wednesday night is what meteorologists call an Alberta clipper. As snow is in the forecast for tonight into Thursday morning, this snow will not be from a coastal low-pressure system but from an Alberta clipper.
Alberta Clipper explained: What does the system bring?
An Alberta Clipper is a low pressure system that rapidly moves from western Canada, deriving its name from the Canadian Province of Alberta. It travels into the Northern Plains, the Midwest and the Great Lakes. An Alberta Clipper draws down cold Canadian air and typically brings snow, cold temperatures and strong winds.
