2AM Storm Update

   &nsbp A very impressive situation has unfolded with this storm. I have had to update snow totals. I am extremly impressed with this. What only a few days ago looked like a 1-3 sloppy inches of snow has turned into an unexpected significant snowstorm. At Midnight the National Weather Service in Burlington, Vermont was reporting 11.3 inches of snow. With moderate to heavy snow continuing to fall. An additional 3-7 inches of snow is expected to fall across Essex County New York, Chittenden, Addison, Washington, Caledonia, Rutland, and Windsor Counties in Vermont. Bringing storm totals in the 10-18 inch range for that area. With locally higher amounts.
   &nsbp An interesting note, just 7 miles south of the international border in Swanton Vermont, only 2 inches of snow has fallen, but 35 miles south of the international border in Burlington Vermont 11.3 inches of snow has fallen. As you can see the storm has a very sharp cutoff point.
   &nsbp I will admit this storm has taken me by suprise, and I am quite positive from the way things have unfolded with advisories and warnings that this storm system has taken the NWS by suprise. Even to this point, weather models seem to refuse to pick up on the amount of precipitation of this storm. Updated snowfall forecast is below...
