JRWeather WINTER STORM WARNING
     JRWeather Has Continued The Winter Storm Warning for Lamoille, Orleans, Washington, Eastern Franklin, Eastern Chittenden, and Eastern Addison Counties In Vermont Until 1AM Tuesday.

     Snow will continue to tapper off tonight, additional accumulations through 1AM will range from 1-3 inches with the highest amounts near Jay Peak, Camels Hump, and Smugglers notch. This will bring total snow accumulations of 6-9 inches with locally higher amounts near 10 inches near Jay Peak, Camels Hump, and Smugglers Notch. Along with snow, winds will continue to gust up to 30MPH tonight, and into tomorrow afternoon. This will cause significant blowing and drifting of the snow.

     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 blowing snow. Stay tuned for further updates.


DISCUSSION
     Snow is winding down across the region. I have continued the Winter Storm Warning for a few extra hours. The ending time has changed from 11PM tonight, to 1AM Tuesday. Snow although not showing up that impressive on composite radar is still coming down across the Western Slopes. In the Champlain Valley only flurries, and a few pockets of light snow continue. The overall trend though is for the snow to tapper off. Total snow accumulations along the Western slopes of the Green mountains will range from 6-9 inches with some locally higher amounts.
     Snow totals so far have ranged from 1-3 inches in the Champlain Valley, with isolated 4 inch amounts around the Champlain Valley. It does not appear that much of the Valley had witnessed Advisory Criteria snow unfortunately. We were somewhat robbed, by very dry air. Across the Western slopes of the Green mountains, and areas adjacent to the Western slopes such as Sheldon springs have received 2-6 inches of snow, with Sheldon Springs reporting 7 inches. There average snowfall may be higher across the Western slopes, but there is not enough reports at this time to know. It appears that Warning criteria also may have only been isolated throughout the Western slopes. But before I call that as a sure thing, we will wait until the snow has come to an end. As the Western slopes could pick up an additional 1-3 inches. Although the 3 inch amounts would be confined to Jay Peak, Camels Hump, Smugglers Notch, and perhaps as far south as Killington. I have updated the maps. Stay tuned!
