Just A Brief Monday Evening Iffy Storm Update: Still Deciding On Vermont Snow

As of Monday evening, we were still awaiting some agreement
on the computer models on whether it will be a snowy
Vermont Thanksgiving or just a meh kind of weather day.
 Frustratingly, we still don't have all that much firm forecasting on the potential storm in New England on Thanksgiving.  

Since this morning, the forecasts have leaned a little more toward the less dire scenario, with some snow but not all that much. Plus, this scenario doesn't have much cold air, so we'd also have some rain in the warmer valleys, but not a super substantial snowstorm.

The European model continues to cling to a scenario in which Vermont and surrounding areas get several inches of snow Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving night.  

Let's hope Tuesday morning forecasts are more consistent, we'll see 

We're still looking at icy roads in central and eastern Vermont early tomorrow morning from light freezing rain that's expected to fall, starting in the pre-dawn  hours. It'll change to rain later in the morning. 

The one place where forecasts are remarkably consistent is for the week or two after Thanksgiving. It'll be colder than  normal, so winter will have arrived. Unfortunately, extended forecasts have trended drier than normal, too, so we won't get much snow or other precipitation to erase the dry conditions we still have, despite some recent rains.
