Upslope Snow Event Underway; JRWeather Alerts In Effect

     Once again I apologize for the inconvenient set up. Although, I was able to get maps together, but I was unable to get bold headlines up, or the actual written alerts I issued.

     I have issued a Winter Storm Warning for much of the western slopes of the Northern, and Central Green Mountains in Vermont, for the potential of 8-12 inches of Snow by Saturday Evening. I have also issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the Southern Green Mountains of Vermont, and the Western slopes of the Northern Adirondack mountains of New York, for the potential of 4-8 inches of snow by Saturday evening.

     Just to remind everyone. Winter Storm Warning Criteria for snow is 6 inches in 12 hours or 9 inches in 24 hours. This event will be 36 hours, so it was difficult to decide on what to do. I feel that a foot of snow within 12 hours is worthy of a Warning. Areas that are expected to receive 4-8 inches will be placed in an advisory. The reasoning once again, is due to this being such a prolonged event. The rest of the area should see anywhere from 2-4 inches of snow by Saturday Evening. The heaviest snow should fall Friday.
