| About an inch and a half of new snow fell on my yard in St. Albans, Vermont last night with an Arctic cold front Snow cover is still thin, but at least it looks like winter. |
During the last two weeks of January, Burlington, Vermont accumulated just a "whopping" 0.5 inches of snow.
We've turned the page to February - often a snowy month - and people who like snow are at least getting a little bit of help.
The cold front that passed through last night dumped an inch or two of fresh powder on the Champlain Valley, and locally a bit more than that in the mountains.
That's not nearly enough to make today a powder day, but at least it once again looks a bit like winter again out there.
Another system looks like it will come through late Saturday night through Sunday. This next one doesn't look enormous either, but the weekend snowfall has the potential to give the Green Mountain State another two to six inches of white covering.
It could get a little warm Sunday afternoon, so the snow might become wet in the valleys for a time and possibly even mix with a couple raindrops in the very warmest valleys. We'll see about that.
Next up: A potential storm midweek. No promises on this one, because as of this Friday morning, the forecast computer models are all over the place. Some of the American models give Vermont a solid thumping of snow - the kind that gives us those nice six to 12 inch dumps.
The European model at this point is putting us in a snow to mix to rain to snow scenario again. A few other computer models take the storm too far to our east, or make it so weak we don't get much of anything.
So, we'll keep an eye on our midweek system and provide updates once we know what the hell is going on with that damn thing.
After that, all I can say is the weather pattern looks like it will remain rather active, so there will be chances for more storms of some sort. Of course, that's too far away to say exactly what, but we'll deal.
