Yesterday's Vermont Snowstorm Dumped A Pretty Uniform Blanket Of Snow

A pretty Thursday morning in my St. Albans, Vermont
yard today after yesterday's 8.6 inch dump of powder

Every time we get a snowstorm in Vermont, some towns get buried, some mostly miss out on the excitement.  

This time, while snowfall did vary from place to place across the Green Mountain State, snow totals were pretty uniform for a February storm. 

While there were exceptions, like in parts of Chittenden County, pretty much everybody got seven to 12 inches of powder out of this dump. Areas around Burlington only got about five or six inches.

The highest total reported so far, outside the mountain peaks was 14 inches in Walden. There were several reports of a foot of snow, and those reports were scattered throughout the state.

Among the one footer towns were Averill, way up in the Northeast Kingdom, Berlin in central Vermont, Middletown Springs down in Rutland County, Vergennes in the southern Champlain Valley and Rochester to the east.

As previously noted, it's a nice, powdery snow and fairly easy to shovel.

The snow we got in Vermont yesterday was fluffy and powdery
making it pretty easy to get most of my St. Albans
driveway shoveled today. 

If you want a bit of icing on the cake, so to speak, it still looks like we'll get another one to three inches of fluff Friday night. There might be even a bit more than that in some of the Green Mountains, and in northern New York.

The Friday night mini-snowfall is coming from a rather weak, quick moving storm that today is causing some snow, wind, and winter storm warnings in the middle of the country.

By the way, yesterday's powdery snow, atop more crusty stuff, has prompted an avalanche watch in northern New Hampshire's White Mountains. There could be some dangerous snow slides up in that neck of the woods. So watch out for that, back country skiers!

Otherwise, enjoy the powder today. The sun is coming out and it will be a brisk but beautiful and brilliant Thursday afternoon. Bring those sunglasses, though. It's awfully bright out there.
