Vermont Snow Squalls Show How Fast Conditions Can Change

2:12 p.m. Snow squall on approach to St. Albans. 

Snow squalls swept across a good chunk of Vermont Sunday afternoon.

As always, these squalls led to rapidly changing conditions that probably stunned a few motorists out on the roads.

This post has a series of photos of the road in front of  my house as the snow squall approached, hit and departed.

As it approached, it looked like a summer thunderstorm. Skies actually sort of got lighter as the snow got close, probably because of the snowflakes' reflectivity.

Then it was a winter wonderland, then it was gone. We piled up 0.8 inches of new snow in 10 minutes.

2:22 p.m. Almost here: The sky almost seems a little
brighter with all those snowflakes approaching

2:37 p.m. The snow squall moves in full force.

2:56 p.m The road is newly slick and snow covered, but
by now the snow squall is over.
