Weekend Snowstorm to Hit Vermont & New York with Heavy Snow
- A widespread snowstorm is forecasted to hit many New England states and New York this weekend. The storm’s center is expected to pass south of the New England coast, leading to a distinct north-south split in the snow forecast. Near the Canadian Border, lighter snow accumulations are anticipated due to dry air, with most towns projected to see under 2″ outside of the mountains.
- For towns like Saranac Lake, Middlebury, and Montpelier, the snowfall forecast is currently around 2-4″. This estimate could change depending on the storm’s center track. Further south, higher snow totals are expected. South of US-4, a traditional snowy Vermont winter day is predicted, with steady moderate snowfall continuing throughout most of Sunday, resulting in a widespread 4-8″ of powder down to the Massachusetts border.
- In the mountains of southern Vermont, especially the eastern-facing slopes, snowfall totals of 8-12″ are likely. Conditions are expected to trend drier on Monday, with lingering snow showers in the mountains. The public is advised to stay ahead of winter storm warnings and sign up for weather alerts.
