Champlain Valley Weather Discussion:
         Everything remains in place for a significant snowstorm across our region. Low pressure tracking towards the southern Great Lakes will strengthen a little more over the next few hours before leveling off in intensity, as the storm shifts east over the PA/NY border, and eventually redevelops just of the South Coast of Long Island. Snowfall rates at the peak of the storm Wednesday afternoon will reach 1-3 inches per hour. Snow totals will be 12-18 inches for much of the area, with 18 or more inches along the spine/ upslope regions of the Green mountains, and the eastern upslope regions of the eastern Adirondack mountains.

         This storm on a regional aspect will be one of the worst storms since the V-Day Nor'easter of 2007, if not a bit worse. This storm is expected to span from Texas across the middle of the country Northeast to New England with heavy snow. Blizzard conditions likely in the mid-west/ great lakes region and an Ice Storm just south of the heavy snow axis spreading all the way across the country from Texas to Southern New England. A severe weather outbreak continues in the deep south at this hour. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing winter storm.
