Champlain Valley Weather Discussion:

OVERVIEW
         A strong low pressure center continues to slow move to the Northeast and will eventually end up in the Canadian Maritimes later today. A Tight pressure gradient, is resulting in blowing and drifting of snow, and cold wind chills.

SNOWFALL
         I hate flip flopping, but spotter reports from Jericho, Bakersfield, and radar trends, indicate a Warning is needed once again for Franklin, Chittenden, and Lamoille Counties in Vermont. The snow is done for the most part across Vermont, but periods of heavy snow showers will continue across Franklin, Chitteden, and Lamoille Counties in Vermont into this evening. Spotters from Jericho, VT indicate that 8 inches of additional snow has fallen since around 8AM this morning. Additional heavy snow has moved into that region, as well as other parts of Franklin, Chittenden, and Lamoille Counties. Visibilities are back down around a quarter mile in this snow band. This snow band should weaken, but a couple additional snow bands are possible as a little more moisture slams up against the green mountains this evening. Stay tuned for further updates, and again I am very sorry for being all over the place with this system.
