Some Unexpected Snowfall For Northern and Central Vermont

Local Update...
   Some unexpected significant snow piling up in Northern and Central Vermont, Likely to continue into mid-late morning...


     At 5:05AM National Weather Service Doppler radar is indicating light to moderate snow, with an occasional heavy burst falling across portions of Northern and Central Vermont. The heaviest snow is falling in Eastern Chittenden County, Northeastern Addison County, Western Washington County, Western Lamoille County, and Southern Franklin County. At 3:44AM a National Weather Service employee reported a snow accumulation of 5.5 inches in Jericho, and another employee reported 4 inches in Essex Center. The highest snow totals appear to be across eastern Chittenden, and Northeastern Addison Counties. Doppler radar is indicating that as much as 3 - 5 inches of snow has fallen, near Jericho, and Starksboro. As we know though that at 3:44AM Jericho has received 5.5 inches, they have likely seen an additional 1 or 2 inches since then, and currently it appears snowfall rates right now in that area are a half to as much as one inch per hour. Snow is likely to continue into the mid morning hours before tapering off by late morning. This has caused me to issue my own map of what I feel should be issued for alerts, and For eastern Chittenden County, Eastern Addison, Lamoille, and Washington County, I feel a Winter Storm Warning should be issued. By the time the snow ends total accumulations will range from 5 - 10 inches, especially across Eastern Chittenden County. Check the below maps for further details. Stay tuned!
