Champlain Valley Weather Discussion:

OVERVIEW
         A 970mb low pressure system continues to move Northeast from east of Cape Cod. This will result in snow diminishing across the regiong today.

SNOWFALL
         Looks like the hi-res models pretty much nailed it with regards to the snow totals across Vermont, leaving the Northern Champlain Valley high and dry, while bringing a large amount of snow to southern Vermont.

         Snow mainly light to moderate will continue today, although a heavy burst cants be ruled out. The overall trend will be snow diminishing though. Total snow accumulations will be 3-6 in the Advisory 6-12 on the Northern end of the Warning with 12-20 inches across the southern portions of the Warning. Some places could see locally up to 2 feet, especially in Bennington, Windham, and Windsor Counties in Southern Vermont. Also, winds have not been quite as strong and have been falling just shy of Blizzard criteria, so the Blizzard Warning has been downgraded to a Warning. Either way though its still blowing and drifting pretty good, and will be dangerous to travel out there today. Especially across Central and Southern Vermont. Use caution and be safe!
