Shortly after my last post, the National Weather Service sent out an update to upgrade nearly everyone to a Winter Storm Warning. The only counties not in a Warning prior to 11PM were Franklin, Orleans, Essex, Lamoille, and Caledonia Counties in Vermont, Coos County in New Hampshire, and St. Lawrence, Franklin, and Clinton Counties in New York. All counties except Coos County in New Hampshire, and Northern, and Southwestern St. Lawrence County have been upgraded to a winter storm warning. Below are two maps, the first one is the alerts the National Weather Service had issued at around this time last night. The second map is of the current alerts. I have made no changes to my snowfall forecast. So the previous post's accumulation maps remain the same. Below the maps is further discussion on the storm.
     Now time to have some discussion about the radar, and whats currently going on. Widespread Moderate snow has overspread the region, with some breaks across Northern Vermont, and Northern New Hampshire. This is forecasted to fill in as more precipitation moves in from the west. The precipitation shield is quite impressive as it extend from the coast of Eastern Maine all the way to the Central Great Lakes region. Its an unusally elongated band compared to an average storm system, its length is impressive, and means snow will continue to fall into early Thursday afternoon. Roads across the area will become difficult to drive on, in areas of the heaviest snow, road conditions will be dangerous. Use extreme caution if you must travel...
