Vermont Snow Today Showed Up On Satellite Photos

Visible satellite view of the Northeast this morning.
That fuzzy whitish patch in northern Vermont is
snow cover from last night's early season snow.

 There wasn't all that much snow in Vermont this morning, but eagle eyed visible satellite imagery caught the snow cover pretty clearly in north central Vermont.

That fuzzy whitish patch in north central Vermont, along with another one over the Adirondacks and still another in northern New Hampshire, is snow cover this morning. 

That bright white streak of clouds through central New York, southern Vermont and central New England is the remnants of the cold front that helped create the snow.

You don't see snow on the ground near the Canadian border in Vermont because moisture streaking in from New York State last night mostly went just south of that region, so there wasn't much in any kind of precipitation,

At my house in St. Albans, Vermont, we had some brief snow flurries Sunday evening but no measurable precipitation.

Some areas along the west slopes of the Green Mountains had two or three inches of snow, but most places only managed 1.5 inches or less.

At mid and high elevations, some of the snow was still on the ground at the end of today. Web cams along Route 108 in Stowe and Route 17 in Buels Gore still showed quite a few patches of snow on the ground.

Temperatures only got into the upper 30s and 40s today. Plus, the humidity in the air was extremely low, about as low as it can possibly get in Vermont. Snow or ice in shade does not melt readily when there's so little moisture in the air, even if it's above freezing. 

That will change, as we are still expecting a warm front tomorrow night that will bring near record high temperatures, and some oddly high humidity for this time of  year Wednesday and Thursday.
