| Travel probably won't be this bad on Thanksgiving in Vermont, but watch out for some slick spots, especially Thursday morning, as snow showers bluster through Vermont. |
Not bad, but not perfect, either.
Yesterday was the warmest day since November 1, and we got to enjoy some sunshine, too.
That's pretty rare for this time of year. The sunshine is pretty much over for awhile, except we will have some fading sunshine this morning as the next storm moves in.
The precipitation will be in the form of rain when it arrives this afternoon and continues well into the evening. The bright side to that is it won't be freezing rain, as temperatures will stay well above freezing during the bulk of the precipitation.
Things will be a little trickier for you on Thanksgiving Day if, like me, you are traveling over the fields and through the woods to grandmother's house or whatever.
By morning, the rain showers will have mostly changed to snow showers. There will be slick spots on the roads, especially the higher you go. For instance, that high spot on Interstate 89 east of Montpelier could get rather snow covered and icy.
Lower elevations, like in the Champlain Valley, will have some slushy areas, too, but this isn't a huge deal. Just take it a little more slowly than you normally would and you'll be fine.
The National Weather Service in South Burlington says Thanksgiving snow accumulation will range from nothing to a dusting in most valleys, with one or two inches when you go a little higher.
The potential storm on Sunday is still a wildcard. It's unclear which direction it will take once it reaches the East Coast. We run the risk of having a snowstorm Sunday into Monday, but we just don't know for sure yet. The whole thing could even miss, for all we know.
Check back Friday and Saturday for updates.
