JRWeather Winter Storm Warning In Effect Until 8AM Thursday; JRWeather Winter Weather Advisory In Effect Until 8AM Thursday...
JRWeather WINTER STORM WARNING
JRWeather continues a Winter Storm Warning for Orleans, Essex, Lamoille, Caledonia, Washington, Eastern Franklin, and Eastern Chittenden Counties in Vermont, and St. Lawrence, Franklin, and Western Clinton Counties in New York Until 8AM Thursday.
Low pressure traveling up the St. Lawrence Valley, and delayed development of a Secondary low pressure system off the Southern New England Coast, has allowed significant warm air aloft to move into the region. Snow has changed over to sleet, and freezing rain almost everywhere. This is going to help cut down snow totals, but not enough to drop snow totals below Warning Criteria for portions of Northern New York, and the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, as well as the Western Slopes of the Northern Green Mountains.
Sleet, and freezing rain will continue and gradually change back over to snow across Vermont. The snow may be heavy at times early this evening, especially in the western upslope communities. Total snow accumulations will range from 5-9 inches with up to a tenth inch of ice accumulation.
Across portions of Northern New York, snow will continue, and any areas of Sleet, and Freezing rain will gradual change back to snow. Snow may be heavy at times into early this evening. Total snow accumulations will range from 7-10 inches across the Warning area with up to a tenth inch of ice accumulation.
A Winter Storm Warning is issued when severe winter weather is likely. In this case the Winter Storm Warning is for moderate to heavy amounts of snow, and light ice accumulations. Travel will continue to be hazardous into tonight, so if you must travel, use extreme caution.
JRWeather WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY
JRWeather has issued a Winter Weather for Rutland, Windsor, Bennington, Windham, Addison, Orange, Grand Isle, Western Franklin, and Western Chittenden Counties In Vermont, and Essex, and Eastern Clinton County in New York Until 8AM Thursday.
Low pressure traveling up the St. Lawrence Valley, and delayed development of a Secondary low pressure system off the Southern New England Coast, has allowed significant warm air aloft to move into the region. Snow has changed over to sleet, and freezing rain almost everywhere. This is going to help cut down snow totals significantly, and thus the Winter Storm Warning has been downgraded to a Winter Weather Advisory for much of the area. Sleet, and Freezing Rain will continue today, before gradually changing back to snow by this evening. Some plain rain may mix in across much of Vermont, and Northern New York, except the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, and the St. Lawrence Valley of Northern New York. Total snow and sleet accumulations will range from 4-7 inches across much of the region, with significantly lower amounts across extreme Southern Vermont, and locally higher amounts in higher elevation areas. Total ice accumulations will range from up to a tenth of an inch across much of the region to as much as a quarter inch across Southern Vermont.
A Winter Weather Advisory is issued when significant but not severe winter weather is imminent or occurring. In this case the the Winter Weather Advisory is for light to moderate amounts of snow, with light icing. Travel will continue to be hazardous, but not impossible, if your traveling use caution.
DISCUSSION
Warmer air has moved much further north than expected. Freezing rain is being reported all the way to the Canadian border in Vermont, and much of New York. Of interesting note, Saranac Lake has changed to plain rain with a temperature of 35 degrees! The only area where all snow continues is the St. Lawrence Valley. Snow totals will be cut back due to this situation. The only areas that will receive warning criteria snow will be portions of Northern New York, and the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, and the Western Slopes of the Northern Green Mountains. The key player at fault for this is the fact the secondary low pressure has taken so long to develop. It has not been able to bring colder air back south. Stay tuned for further updates.
