Champlain Valley Weather Discussion:
         Once again we are under the gun for another Winter storm. With low pressure tracking from TN Northeast towards NY, then shifting east across Southern New England. This will result in the chance from some light snow today with snow becoming likely towards evening. Snow will overspread the region from south to north, and become heavy at times overnight, before tapering off Sunday morning.

         Snow totals will generally range from 6-10 inches across the Warning area with locally 12 inches, and 3-6 inches across the Advisory area. Some sleet and freezing rain could mix in across southern Vermont. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing winter storm.
