Severe Weather Expected This Thanksgiving in Southern Vermont
Burlington, Vt. – A powerful storm is set to affect the region on Thanksgiving Day, bringing widespread wet snow and rain. While northern parts of New York and the Champlain Valley in northern Vermont are expected to escape significant impacts, southern Vermont will face challenging travel conditions due to heavy, wet snowfall.
Travelers heading into or through southern Vermont into southern New Hampshire should prepare for difficult conditions during the afternoon and evening hours. Snow accumulations are anticipated to vary widely, ranging from none in the northern Champlain Valley to a few inches at higher elevations, and exceeding 8 inches in the mountainous areas of southern Vermont.
From Friday through the weekend and into early next week, the weather will feature a mixture of clouds and sunshine, accompanied by breezy conditions and random snow showers. Weather experts note that warm water in the Great Lakes and Hudson Bay will interact with cold air, generating bands of snow. This phenomenon tends to produce concentrated snowfall in the mountains while less precipitation occurs in the valleys.
