First Winter Storm Watch Of Season Posted For Vermont

Winter storm watch (dark blue) covers all of Vermont
and much of the rest of northern New York and
New England Tuesday. It'll be the first decent
snowfall of the season in northwestern New
England,  but it won't be extreme:
Expect four to seven inches. 

Just a quick Sunday evening head's up: We're now under a winter storm watch here in Vermont from late Monday night through late Tuesday night.

We've known for days that we had a high risk of snow on Tuesday, and now that risk is becoming more certain. It's going to snow like hell.

Don't worry, "snow like hell" is all relative. This won't be Storm Of The Century by any means.

But you want to take this seriously, like all winter storm watches. The Tuesday morning commute in Vermont and most of the rest of New England is going to be challenging.

You want to plan now for a longer commute than usual, icy roads, and the random idiots who don't know how to drive in the snow, despite the fact many of them have lived in wintry Vermont for decades.

Like I said, this won't be an epic snowstorm. Right now, the general consensus is a four to seven inches snowfall in Vermont and surrounding areas. Hey, at least this will brighten the dark December landscape.

I'll have much more on this during my Monday morning update.
