Forecast Discussion:
Winter will be making itself known to the North Country in full force late this
weekend. Along with the coldest temperatures of the season, a large storm
system is gearing up to push into the region for the end of the weekend. A few
snow squalls dropped a couple scattered inches around the region last night,
however, Sunday night will see at least upwards of 6 inches with the entrance
of a major winter storm system. In response the National Weather Service in
Burlington has issued a Winter Storm Watch, effective from Sunday night through
Monday night. Cold air funneling in from Canada will allow many locations in
our area to drop below zero overnight. Sunday night skies will begin to flurry
and eventually move into a moderate snow, lasting into late Monday morning.
Snow totals will be as much as a foot in the higher elevation and upslope
locations, while the valley locations may see 6 to 10 inches of snow. Driving
conditions Monday morning will be adverse so please use caution while
commuting.
