Forecast Discussion:
The wintry conditions that have been affecting people south of us are going to
deliver a strong punch this evening. A strong low pressure area to our
northwest will move in and sandwich the Northeast Kingdom between that system
and the strong system to our south. As a result, we can expect anywhere from
2-7 inches of new snowfall through Wednesday morning. Temperatures will fall
quickly Wednesday afternoon once this system pushes through and high pressure
begins to build in for Thursday.


Tuesday Afternoon (Dec 11, 2007)
This afternoon will be cloudy with snow showers. Winds will be light from the
south and new snowfall accumulations will be less than a half of an inch.

High: 27-32F  Low: -F 

Tuesday Night (Dec 11, 2007)
The snow will continue to fall through overnight hours adding an additional 2-4
inches of accumulation. There is a chance that some of the snow will mix with
sleet so please be careful on the roads. Winds will be light and variable and
skies will be cloudy.

High: -F  Low: 22-27F 

Wednesday Afternoon (Dec 12, 2007)
By Wednesday afternoon, snow showers taper off and winds pick-up from 8-12 mph
from the west with the possibility of higher wind gusts. Temperatures will fall
to the low 20s by 5 PM.

High: 27-32F  Low: -F 

Wednesday Night (Dec 12, 2007)
Wednesday evening will be cold with partly cloudy skies and winds from the west
at 5-10 mph with higher wind gusts possible.

High: -F  Low: 0-5F 

Thursday Afternoon (Dec 13, 2007)
High pressure quickly builds in for Thursday and quickly leaves by Thursday
evening. This means that snow will begin to fall after 1 PM. Winds will be
light from the north.

High: 15-20F  Low: -F
