UPDATE 2: Blizzard To Strike The Region

Champlain Valley Weather Discussion:
         I just wanted to post a quick update, as observations and snow totals require me to update things. Of most significance is how much snow has fallen so far. Across the Northern Champlain Valley, and much of the Western Champlain Valley 4-7 inches of Snow has fallen through the overnight hours, across the Southern Champlain Valley 4-10 inches of snow has fallen. While across the Central Champlain Valley, and the Western slopes of the Green mountains, 10-19 inches of snow has fallen so far. Its also quite impressive to note that snow ratios have been very high, up around 35:1 on average. Meaning 35 inches of snow to 1 inch of liquid. So if this was a rainstorm it would be 1 inch of rain.

         Radar observations show that snow is continuing to move from Northeast, to Southwest. Snow will continue across much of the area, but should be heaviest across the Western Slopes of the Green mountains. The heavier snow that has been occurring all night in the Central Champlain Valley should start to lighten up some. Total snowfall accumulations by early Monday morning will be 24 or more inches across the Central Champlain Valley, and the Western slopes of the Green mountains in portions of Chittenden, and Lamoille Counties, to 18-24 inches across the rest of the Central, and Southern Champlain Valley, and the remainder of the Western slopes of the Green mountains. With 12-18 inches in portions of the Northern, and Southern Champlain Valley, and Central Washington, and Western Orleans Counties, with 6-12 inches across the Western Champlain Valley, and the Extreme Northern Champlain Valley, in Northwestern Franklin, and Northern Grand Isle Counties, and 6-12 inches across Eastern Orleans, and far Eastern Washington Counties. All alerts remain the same as in the previous post, so please check that earlier post for alert details. Stay tuned for any further updates.
