Back To Winter In Vermont As Several Snow Chances (With Rain Thrown In) Coming Up

National Weather Service radar from around 9 this
morning. You can see a band of snow moving
into southern Vermont. That's lake effect,
originating all the way over at Lake Huron.
Bands of snow curving northeastward in
northern Vermont is a sign that a new
disturbance is starting to suppress the lake
effect southward. The disturbance will
generate new snow showers this afternoon. 

The tail ends of big lake effect snows from Lake Ontario made it all the way to Vermont overnight and this morning, introducing winter back to the Green Mountain State after a short break. 

One snow band put down a dusting of snow in northern Vermont last night, with maybe a couple inches in the mountains. It looks like Jay Peak managed to collect at least two or three inches of snow overnight.

A more impressive snow band was moving into parts of southern Vermont this morning. 

It actually originated all the way over in Lake Huron, got new energy crossing Lake Ontario, and moved all the way across New York through Vermont.

 It looked like that narrow band was somewhere near Manchester as of 9 a.m.  Maybe ski areas like Bromley are getting a little bonus snow this morning. 

That snow band then to some extent reached across southern New Hampshire all the way to southwestern Maine. That is an impressively long trip for a lake effect from Lake Huron! 

The wind is shifting, so Vermont will lose the lake effect snows later this morning. You could see on radar the remnants of one streak of snow over northern Vermont  curving northeastward. They're responding to another weather disturbance diving in.  That will keep the snow showers going all day today. 

Some of this afternoon's  snow showers, especially over the mountains and in eastern Vermont north of White River Junction could be briefly heavy, especially inland from the Connecticut River.  

Most of us will only see a dusting to an inch of snow. As always, expect a little more than that in the Green Mountains. 

NEXT STORM

Next up is kind of a mixed, and not particularly memorably little storm set to come through Sunday and early Monday. It'll probably be a snow to rain kind of thing, with not much accumulation. Not all that much rain, either to be honest.  Rain and melted snow from this next hiccup would only amount to a quarter inch or maybe even less. 

Snow accumulation for most of us would again be near an inch. 

THE NEXT, NEXT STORM

The next storm in the series looks like it could get interesting. If we get this storm, it would come through Tuesday and into Wednesday. 

It would be a nor'easter, and if the path of this thing is just right, we could be looking at a pretty good sized snowstorm. At least for some of us. It's only Friday, so we don't have a good bead yet on how close to the coast it would come. 

There's the potential that at least part of Vermont cold get a good dump of snow.  We don't know for sure yet which part of the state would get a lot of snow. Maybe none of us will get much. 

Stay tuned!
