Snow, ice totals for what will be a messy Thursday

Our parade of wintry weather continues to march through the North Country and Upper Valley this week. We have yet another messy disturbance on the way for Thursday morning. It’s a warm front that will produce a thump of snow primarily after the morning drive with a little bit of freezing drizzle on the back side of the event. Here’s a local look at snow and ice totals for our area by Thursday afternoon.

Northern New York will experience a widespread dusting to 4 inches of snow Thursday morning before swapping over to a wintry mix of snow and freezing drizzle. On top of that fresh snow, there may be an additional glaze or so of ice. That combination of snow and ice on area roadways will make travel difficult later Thursday morning through the evening drive home.

Northern Vermont will also tap in to a widespread dusting to 4 inches of snow by Thursday afternoon with some freezing drizzle to follow the snowfall. A few mountain towns such as Jay Peak could cross the 4 inch threshold by the time all is said and done. There will certainly be snowy, icy afternoon and evening commutes to contend with so be sure to exercise plenty of caution.

Southern Vermont and the Upper Valley will see the most widespread 2 to 4 inch amounts of snow during this event. There could even be some 4+ inch amounts for ski areas/resorts across the southern Greens. Similar to northern New York and northern Vermont, there may be some freezing drizzle to account for across southern Vermont and the Upper Valley in the wake of that accumulating snow. Travel safely and maintain a bigger than normal braking space between you and the car in front of you.
