February 18th-19th Winter Storm Update Update

     Sorry for no headline or maps like usual, I am not at my primary computer tonight. But I do want to send out another update.
     Snow is currently falling light to moderately in Swanton and Highgate, with around 1.5 inches of snow on the ground. Radar is indicating that widespread moderate to occasionally heavy snow is falling across Northeastern New York, and much of Northern and Central Vermont. Lighter snow, and another dry slot is moving in from the Southwest, and will be over the Champlain Valley, and Northern New York in the next couple hours. Then more showery type precipitation will occur towards the pre-dawn hours, and could mix with rain in the Champlain Valley.
     Snow totals continue to look good, with 3-6 inches still likely in the higher elevations with locally higher amounts in the upslope regions, and 1-3 inches likely in the Champlain Valley. There could be locally higher amounts in the more elevated portions of the Valley.
     Also to note, significant pressure falls are occurring near cape cod. This is indicative of the new low pressure system trying to form. It will likely form east of Boston. This will be watched closely, where if the low pressure system forms sooner, it could help bring colder air in sooner, and may result in slightly higher snowfall amounts. Stay tuned!!
