Complex Storm System Tough To Forecast, More Snow Expected Before Storm Ends...
     The National Weather Service in Burlington, Vermont has cancelled the high wind warning, for Northeastern Vermont, and the Western Slopes of the Green Mountains, and has replaced it with a Wind Advisory, excluding Eastern Addison, and Eastern Rutland Counties. The Winter Storm Warning in effect for the Northern Adirondack mountains has been cancelled as well. My alerts also drop a High Wind Warning but replace it with a Wind Advisory, for the Western Slopes of The Green Mountains, and the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. My Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for Northern New York.
     There has been some interesting observations with this storm. For instance enough cold air held in place along the eastern Slopes of the Green Mountains, and in Eastern Vermont to produce a nice Swath of 3-6 inches of snow. With isolated higher amounts including up to 12 inches in Killington Village, 9 inches in North Walden, 8 inches in Brookfield, and 6.5 inches in North Pomfret. The only areas along the east slopes of the green mountains, and eastern Vermont that will see any additional snow, will be elevations about 2000 feet, and it wont be more than an additional inch or two. Another interesting factor, is for Northern New York, not quite as much snow has fallen across the Northern Adirondacks, but in the Southern Adirondacks snow totals have been in the 6-9 inch range with isolated higher amounts. The Northern Adirondacks have only seen 1-3 inches so far, however one last slug of moisture will pull in the the Northern Adirondack Mountains over the next couple of hours, and produce and additional 1-3 inches of snow, bringing totals in the 2-6 inch range, so I will continue my Winter Weather Advisory for this area. I have not put one on my map for eastern Vermont, because they have are now well into the warm sector, and any additional minor snow totals will not be widespread enough. One final things are wind, the winds did not materialize due to a very weak low pressure actually being able to form over Long Island, it was not very strong, so it couldn't help pull more snow back into much of the area, but it was strong enough to help weaken the wind field over Vermont. A few gusts of up to 45MPH will continue at the higher elevations. So I will leave my wind advisory up for a few more hours. Stay tuned for further updates. Maps below...
