Snowstorm Ends For Much Of The Region

Local Update...
   Snowstorm Coming To An End Expect For The Upslope regions/ Higher Elevations...

Overview...
     The National Weather Service in Burlington has allowed the Winter Storm Warning for Northern New York to expire. They continue the Winter Storm Warning for Eastern Franklin, and All of Orleans Counties in Vermont, and also continue the Winter Weather Advisory for the remainder of Northeast Vermont, and the spine of the Green Mountains.

Current Radar Trends...
     National Weather Service Doppler radar indicates that light to moderate snow with some occasional heavy bursts continue over the higher elevations of New York and Vermont. Some of the more widespread moderate to occasionally heavy snow is occurring across Northeastern New York's higher elevations, where radar echos are reading up to 25dbz which would indicate moderate to occasionally heavy snow. The other most concentrated area of snow is along the western slopes of the green mountains from Central to Northern Vermont. Along this area light to moderate snow is falling, with some heavy bursts the intensity is unfortunately hard to detect on radar due to beam blockage from the mountains.

Accumulations...
     So far the storm has produced some significant snow totals, for the Northern and Central Adirondacks in Northern and upstate New York have generally ranged from 6 - 12 inches with a less widespread area receiving 9 - 15 inches, and isolated locations in that area receiving up to 24 inches of snow. For the St. Lawrence Valley snowfall amounts have generally ranged from 3 - 6 inches with a few of the more elevated portions of that valley receiving up to 9 inches and isolated areas receiving around 11 inches. For the entire Champlain Valley general snowfall amounts have ranged from 1 - 3 inches with some areas only having trace amounts, in the deepest portions of the valley near Lake Champlain. For the Western Facing Slopes and higher elevations of Vermont general snowfall amounts have ranged from 3 - 6 inches with isolated areas up to 8 inches. For the remainder of Vermont including Northeast, and South Central, general snowfall amounts have been 1 - 3 inches with isolated areas of up to 5 inches.

Forecast...
     Light to Moderate Snow with occasional heavy bursts will continue across mainly the upslope/ higher elevation regions with only flurries to occasionally light snow falling elsewhere across Vermont, and Northern New York. Winds will also continue to be strong across the entire area. Winds will range from 15 - 25MPH with occasional gusts up to 40MPH. This will still have the potential to produce isolated power outages, especially in Northern New York where the greatest accumulations of heavy wet snow have occurred. Additional snowfall accumulations for the higher elevations of Northern New York will be 2 - 4 inches with locally higher amounts, especially across the higher elevations of Northeastern New York. For Northern, and Central Vermont's higher elevations additional snowfall accumulations will range from 2 - 6 inches with locally higher amounts, especially along the highest elevations of the western facing slopes. Areas such as Jay Peak, and Mount Mansfield. For the rest of Northern New York, and Vermont an additional Dusting - 2 inches is possible. Once again the higher amounts in the more elevated areas.
