Monday Evening Vermont Snow Patrol: It Didn't Get Into Valley, But Mountains White

Web cam of Route 105 in Jay looked pretty treacherous
with fresh snow falling late this afternoon

 The cold raw, rainy weather in Vermont lasted all day, and things didn't quite come together for any snow in low and most mid elevations, but the mountains sure are turning white.  

Most of the snow today was limited to about 1,800 feet or so. Northern Vermont endured a day long soaking rain, while southern parts of the state had a weird, showery day.

 Some of the southern Vermont showers were briefly heavy, but large chunks of the day stayed dry.

Snow levels were going down a bit in elevation this evening, but the precipitation was turning lighter, too. I don't have any official snow totals yet, but web cams in the mountains and on high elevation roads seem to indicate a good inch of snow fell at least. 

A burst of snow late this afternoon actually had Route 105 in high elevation Jay looking pretty icy and wintry. 

A few snow showers will continue tonight in the northern mountains. A disturbance in the chilly northwest flow of air over Vermont tomorrow night will probably yield a few more snow showers. Those could get lower in elevation, possibly to 1,000 feet above sea level or even lower if we're lucky.  

A few wet snowflakes could conceivably make into the Champlain Valley around Burlington later Tuesday night. We shall see!

There might even be some light accumulations Tuesday night at or above 1,500 feet. Mountain summits in Vermont could see a total of six to eight inches between what fell today and what will come between now and Wednesday morning. 

After that and some frosty weather Wednesday night and possibly Thursday night, an Indian Summer seems on its way by next weekend. 

I'll have a better update on snow prospects and  in Tuesday morning's post.
