Not TOO Wintry Out There In Vermont This Morning: Good?

in Brookfield, this morning. Looks like there sas a good couple inches
of snow on the round there, and you can see it was still snowing. 

It's chilly and damp and raw across Vermont this morning, but early indications are, it's not that wintry in most places.

Which has some springtime lovers sighing with relief, as some areas that were expecting snow never really got it.

Snow definitely accumulated overnight in the higher elevations across Vermont, and got probably got down to as low as 1,000 feet in elevation as expected.

As of early this morning, there were not a lot of snowfall total reports, as they usually trickle in through mid-morning.

Some Vermont Agency of Transportation highway web cams showed new snow on the ground, but the roads, at least in the spots where the cameras were mounted, were just wet.

Along Interstate 89 in Brookfield, it looked like there was a couple inches of snow on the ground.  In far southern Vermont, a high elevation spot around Readsboro picked up 2.9 inches of snow.  East Barre reported 1.8 inches. Several inches accumulated on higher peaks. There are a lot of photos on social media of at least some snow on the ground in different parts of Vermont.

Rainfall (and melted snow) amounts weren't super big, either, especially in the north At my place in St. Albans, I measured 0.3 inches of rain so far - and no snow.   It was dry heading into this storm, so I was hoping for more rain than I got. Most other areas of the state got a so-so half inch of rain

We do have a shot of more substantial precipitation, mostly on Thursday, as another slow moving storm is expected to pass through. That one could really dump a fair amount of rain. At least it has the potential, we'll wait and see.

In southern Vermont, where it has been wetter than the north, it might be worth it to watch that Thursday storm, as rain might be heaviest there. The ground is already wetter than in the north, so there could be some minor flooding at the end of the week. Nobody is sure on that one yet, but it's worth keeping an eye on.

Before that happens, today will be damp and raw for the end of April. Most of us won't get out of the 40s, and light rain showers will continue. Some snow might still come down in the highest spots, but it won't amount to much.

Tuesday was initially forecast to be almost as crummy as today, but now it doesn't look terrible. Just meh. It'll be partly sunny to mostly cloudy, depending on where you are, with afternoon temperatures near 50 degrees. That's cool for this time of year, but, oh well.

Clouds will thicken up Wednesday and winds will increase ahead of that next storm. At least it will be a little warmer, with many areas getting up to about 60 degrees, which is roughly normal for this time of year.

.If you're a crazy snow lover, you're out of luck with this next storm.  It'll be a rainer, not a snower.
