Lake Effect Snow Piling Up In Vermont - It Does Happen!

   Lake Effect Snow Piling Up Across The Southern Champlain Valley In Vermont...


     Believe it or not, the rare occurrence of warning/ advisory criteria snowfall from Lake Champlain Effect snow does occur. National Weather Service Doppler radar is indicating a lake effect snow band extending south off the south end of Lake Champlain. Current radar echoes are indicating that a narrow band of moderate to occasionally heavy snow is falling across Southwestern Chittenden County, and Western Addison County. The heaviest snow is falling along and just west of Route 7 in the above mentioned counties. Over the past couple hours the snow band had weakened some, but now appears to be reorganizing, as radar is showing stronger echoes. Snow will likely continue moderate to occasionally heavy at times along and just west of Route 7 in Southwestern Chittenden, and Western Addison Counties. Snow totals should range from 3 - 6 inches on top of the 1 - 2 inches that was already reported on the ground there, so snow totals will range from 4 - 8 inches with very isolated higher amounts. The band will occasionally weaken and strengthen over the next several hours before it completely diminishes by tomorrow mid-morning.
