Champlain Valley Weather Discussion:

OVERVIEW
         Low pressure tracking across the country will intensify over the Southern New England coast, and up into the Gulf of Maine, bringing another round of accumulating snow to the region.

SNOW
         It looks like another storm system will effect the region. This time it will be much faster moving, and may throw some surprises out for some people across New England. At this time models have substantially shifted to the storm track further Northwest, which puts much of the region in Advisory criteria snowfall, with some warning criteria snowfall to the south. Also some models show the storm intensifying a little sooner, which it something that needs to be watched very closely. If the storm tracks just a bit further northwest, and intensifies a bit sooner, then we could be talking about Warning Criteria snowfall for everyone.

         At this point though with high snow ratios on the order of 20:1 this should lay down a nice 5-9 inches across Southern Vermont with 3-6 inches across the rest of Vermont, and much of Northern New York. At this time I feel the Northern St. Lawrence valley is just a bit too far from the more significant accumulating snow, but trends will be monitored and they could end up in an Advisory later this evening. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing storm system.
