Champlain Valley Weather Discussion:
OVERVIEW
         Low pressure in the Gulf of Maine will continue to track Northeast and away from the region, resulting in a weakening of snowfall rates.
SNOW
         For the most part everything has gone as planned. Snow totals across Southern Vermont have been a little less then expected so I have had to adjust them downward. Across the central portions of Vermont I have increased them up a little bit as many places should see around 10 inches of snow with locally up to 18 inches. The Advisory area remains unchanged. All alerts should be cleared by later tonight.
         As low pressure tracks away snow should continue to lighten up overall, and should become scattered showers overnight. Areas where snow will be the heaviest and linger the longest will be the eastern Champlain Valley, and the Western slopes of the Northern and Central Green mountains. An additional 1-4 inches is likely across much of the state into the overnight hours. Snowfall rates should continue to diminish over the course of this evening. Winds however will pick up and gust between 25 and 35MPH which will blow much of this snow around, and create whiteout conditions at times. Stay tuned for any further updates on this storm.
