As of 4 pm Fri: Here’s our latest snow forecast for this weekend’s system. Note there has been a slight northward trend in the low track, so snow amounts have been adjusted upward slightly. The forecast will continue to evolve as we go forward; additional adjustments are likely.

NWS Burlington Don’t look now, but a winter storm tracking up the New England coastline is expected to bring widespread snowfall to the region on Sunday. The highest amounts are expected across southern Vermont with a relatively sharp gradient in snow totals from south to north. #vtwx #nywx

We’ve received reports of patchy freezing drizzle across the region this afternoon. As road temperatures cool below freezing this evening, additional freezing drizzle or light snow may coat area roadways. Please keep in mind the changing road conditions.
