Champlain Valley Weather Discussion:
         Weather models are coming into better agreement on what could be a substantial snowstorm for our region Tuesday night into Wednesday Night. Most models have been in very good agreement on this system compared to previous storms, and track the low pressure system from the Gulf coast, Northeast towards the lower great lakes, and then east over the PA/ NY border, and Southern New England. With the strong cold air to the north, this will increase the chances for a significant snowfall. Currently models indicate 10-18 inches of snow possible for much of Northern New York, and much of Vermont. I do want to urge though, that these totals are not yet official or set in stone, but just an early indicator of what may be coming. If models continue to agree this system will produce heavy snow then a Winter Storm Watch will likely be needed for the entire area. At this point it is too early to issued a Winter Storm Watch, but one may be issued by tomorrow evening. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing winter storm.
