Well here in Vermont, here we go with the weather. They have issued a First Weather Alert day in effect for Tonight and all of Sunday, due to a messy storm impacting the State. A mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain is moving into the region, first into New York and then spreading Eastward. A little snow and sleet are expected, but freezing rain is likely in areas like the Adirondacks and East of the Green Mountains. For the Champlain Valley, any mix will quickly change to rain. Rain will continue overnight, but freezing rain will continue East of the Green Mountains, with up to two tenths (2/10ths) an inch of ice... plenty enough to make the roads hazardous. The messy mix will wrap up early Sunday morning, then change to snow showers.
The focus for Sunday will be persistent snow showers, mainly for the mountains. It will be blustery with temps falling below freezing in all locations. Though a flash freeze isn't expected, patchy black ice can't be ruled out. Otherwise , roads will remain slippery in the higher elevations due to the snow showers. The valleys will be quieter, and some areas remaining dry. The snow showers will continue overnight.
Monday will remain active with additional snow showers, mainly in the mountains. The morning commute should be OK in the valleys, but it could be deceiving as you may quickly encounter snow showers should you travel into higher elevations. Total snow accumulation will be elevation-dependent, with a trace to maybe an inch in the valleys, to 3 or more inches in the mountains. The highest amounts will be in the Adirondacks and the Northern Green Mountains, with 4" to 8" possible. Isolated amounts of up to a foot can't be ruled out at the summits. The snow showers will taper off during the evening.
The rest of week will be much quieter, with a break from the really active weather. Some flurries are expected on Tuesday, but no impacts are expected. Wednesday and Thursday will be partly sunny. Temps will remain rather chilly, with highs in the 30's and lows in the 20's. A weak system could bring some showers and mountain snow showers on Friday.
The current temp is 32 degrees and partly cloudy.
Everyone stay safe, and healthy!
