Storm center is perfect for you guys, not for us.
Hope everyone is making out ok. Mountains must have some nice deep snowpack now.

Current surface and temps

From the news this morning, the Champlain Valley has the most accumulation at this point with about 6-8". It looks like the eastern part of the state is getting the shadow effect from the white mountains as they predicted. Also just heard on the news on the drive to work, the Department of Trans. is reporting rain in Southern Vermont. Northern New York is going to get the brunt of the storm. They are estimating around 2 feet will fall.

I'm in Southern Vermont. I think I am. Maybe it's the very northern part of Southern Vermont. We have 6" here. I'm staying about halfway up a mountain. I heard the resort base lodges had well over a foot when the early morning workers arrived this morning. The peaks probably have more. It's still snowing strong here at 9am.

I hope that rain isn't heading this way! If it does, it won't rain at the highest elevations, right?

I don't think any reasonably tall mountains will get rain without a serious warm up.

Probably just under 3 inches around me so far. The roads are downright nasty. I'm happy to be done driving for the day.

Its hard to tell how much we have 'cause of the wind blowing it around but I guesstimated 6" around 9am.

From the report it was around Bennington and heading towards Brattleboro. They didn't say how far north the rain will head. The worry was ice. They are spreading brine to hopefully reduce any ice.

Rain should not get into VT, colder air now filtering back into the region. Storm moving farther away.

Always a tough thing to do in wind. Try to find a spot where the wind was blocked and take a few measurements around the area and get an average.

This is a photo from Guilford in southern Vermont. They are getting snow, but you can see the raindrops on the lens. The news was showing doppler images of just snow, but they are saying it is turning to rain as it reaches the surface. The listed temps as of right now in many areas are at or above freezing. White River is at 34 degrees and Springfield is 32. I think the eastern half of the state is looking warmer. We (Burlington/Champlain Valley) are supposed to go up to 32 degrees. We are up 2 degrees in the last hour (weather station in Colchester).
