Snow To Blanket The Region Overnight Into Wednesday

Local Update...
   Significant Snow To Effect The Region Overnight Into Wednesday Afternoon...

     The National Weather Service in Burlington, Vermont has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for much of Vermont, and Northern New York for the potential of 3-6 inches of snow. The National Weather Service in Albany, New York has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Bennington, and Windham County in Southern Vermont for the potential of 4-7 inches of snow. JRWeather has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for all of Vermont, and Northern New York, for the potential of 3-6 inches with locally higher amounts of up to 8 or 9 inches in the higher elevations.

     A fast moving wave of low pressure will track from the midwestern states, across the northeastern states and out to sea by tomorrow night. A fast moving area of moderate to occasionally heavy snow will effect the area, from midnight to around 2PM. The heaviest snow should fall between 6AM and 12PM. The morning commute will likely be rather hazardous. Total snow accumulations from this storm will range from 3-6 inches with locally higher amounts across the western slopes of the green mountains. JRWeather and the National Weather Service forecasts, and alerts are in very close agreement.

     Another storm system is forecasted to effect the region on Thursday with the threat of some heavier snowfall. The icing threat is not as significant as first thought. This storm however looks to track further south, which may exclude the Champlain Valley, and Far northern areas from significant snow. If you can remember the storm back on Feb. 6th - 7th, 2008 where areas along a line from, Saranac Lake, NY to Peru, NY to Jeffersonville, VT to Sutton, VT and areas south received 12+ inches including Burlington, Vermont which received 16.6 inches of snow, and areas North of that line which received only 3-6 inches of snow. The only southern areas which did not receive snow in excess of a foot were Bennington, and Windham Counties where warm air moved in changing snow over to sleet, and freezing rain. This time around though the heavier snow will likely push even further south then back in the February storm. Stay tuned for further updates!
