Local Update...
   Nor'easter Bringing Less Snow Then Expected For Our Area...

     The National Weather Service in Burlington, Vermont continues a Winter Storm Warning for the entire region for 4-9 inches of snow for the St. Lawrence Valley, and Northern Adirondack mountains in Norther New York, 6-12 inches of snow for South Central Vermont, and the Champlain Valley, and 8-14 inches of snow across Central, and Northeastern Vermont. The National Weather Service in Albany, New York continues a Winter Storm Warning for Bennington, and Windham Counties in Vermont for an additional 3-6 inches of snow resulting in a total of 6-12 inches. JRWeather continues a Winter Storm Warning for the entire region for 4-8 inches of snow for much of Northern New York, and the Western third of Vermont, and 8-12 inches of snow for portions of the Adirondack mountains, and the eastern two thirds of Vermont.

     Low pressure currently moving towards Cape Cod is rapidly intensifying, it is currently down to 992mb and continue to explosively strengthen, until it reaches about 965mb. This will result in a Blizzard for portions of Northern and Eastern Maine, where Blizzard Warnings have been issued for 10-20 inches of snow, and white out conditions. For our area, light to moderate snow will continues with moderate to occasionally heavy snow for eastern Vermont. Additional snow totals will be 1-4 inches across Northern New York, and Western Vermont, and an additional 3-6 inches for the Western Slopes of the Green Mountains and East. Warning criteria may not be met in several places, especially across the Northern Champlain Valley, and in the St. Lawrence Valley, as snow totals have only averaged 1-3 inches, due to unfortunate shadowing from the mountains. But I will continue the Warning for the entire area, due to the fact winds should increase and cause blowing and drifting snow, along with very difficult travel conditions into tomorrow morning. I guess that's all I have to say... Stay tuned.
