Champlain Valley Weather Discussion:
         A low pressure system moving off to the Northeast will strengthen a bit, with a strong high pressure moving in from the west. This will result in a tight pressure gradient, falling temperatures, and even some accumulation snow.

         Already the cold front has shifted across all of Northern New York, and much of Northwestern Vermont with snow squalls, rapidly falling temperatures, and strong winds. If you have yet to encounter the cold front, that is what you can expect. Behind the cold front, temperatures will continue to plummet, and winds will continue to increase, resulting in strong winds, and cold wind chills overnight. Also some accumulating snow can be expected across much of the region, but the most snow will accumulate in upslope areas of the Northern Adirondacks and Northern Green mountains into this evening. The snow should tapper off overnight as much colder and drier air punches into the region. Stay tuned for any further updates.
