Latest HRRR shows sleet never makes it to you. Back end of this storms going to be a doozy.

Strange. NWS highlighted differences across the Region, specifically mentioning Norwich. You should start cranking soon.

5” OTG as of 5:15 AM. Moderate snow.

8” new as of 8 AM, probably compacted. Had 1-1/2” at 10:30 last night so big thump in early AM. Light snow now, minimal wind. 30F. It was much windier here yesterday before precip started. Looks like a more impactful band is moving north after a little lull. NWS predicting another 3-8” in Montpelier through Sat AM, which would get us to upper end of predictions yesterday. With April sun angle don’t see this playing out as depth on the ground.

You’re a little ahead if me. Maybe 1.5” but heavy snow now.

First stray flakes in N. Central VT.

Anecdotally, my friend who lives at 650’ in Montpelier has been all snow for the event. Up the hill here at 1200’ we have 2” down and dumping big fatties.

Here too in East Montpelier. Expected at least a bit of rain before changeover, so promising.

After a bleak stretch, just what the doctor ordered. Spine looks to get blasted with heavy wet then increasingly higher ratios in upslope portion of storm.

Around 3” here in East Montpelier, the majority overnight. Snow was in the air all day but didn’t amount to much more. Mountains needed this boost heading into the Holiday weekend.

Finally a little Northern Greens refresh. Looks like 3-6 for mountains with Thursday’s clipper too.

This is a weather forum. Not interested in your politics.

The axis of the snow shield on radar and satellite has definitely shifted more SW/NE than W/E. Is northern stream interaction helping here more than expected?

Possibly. Wasn’t wearing my glasses. Just trying to stay entertained. No skin in the game up in the North Country. Just rooting for you all.

Also, center of circulation appears to be more in western third of Tennessee rather than eastern half depicted by 7:00 PM GFS and Euro modeling position.
