Quick Friday Evening Vermont Update: Just Damp/Foggy/Icky Overnight

Traffic makes its way along Interstate 89 in Colchester,
Vermont this morning amid a cold rain, fog and gloom.

 Luckily, today's storm wasn't too, too bad. It was just an ugly winter day. 

The areas of freezing rain weren't that big, and didn't accumulate much, at least in Vermont. 

As expected, the rain changed to snow in mostly the Northeast Kingdom, and it didn't amount to much.

Most of us ended up with a miserable, cold, soaking rain. Many of us ended up with close to a half inch of rain.

The precipitation is over for the night. Except perhaps patches of drizzle, freezing drizzle or a few wet snowflakes. 

All of those winter weather advisories we had earlier have been canceled. 

For tonight, the main problems will be that seemingly ever-present fog. And patches of ice on roads, especially east of the Greens.

The bigger of the two problem will be the fog. It was already pretty dense in several spots as of 5 p.m. With light winds and lots of moisture, that fog will linger, and reduce visibility on the roads. You'll need to slow it down tonight.  

Use your low beams, not the high beams.  The high beams will blind you mostly, but also people coming the other way through the fog. 

Temperatures will fall to near freezing, so we might have issues with ice on untreated surfaces again tonight through early tomorrow. 

Saturday is looking murky.  But almost precipitation free, with just possible a patch or two of drizzle or wet snowflakes. 

That potential storm Sunday or Sunday night is still trending too far south to bother us much, but there's still an opportunity for it to curve north.  Meteorologists are monitoring trends with that one.
