The Official 2/6 - 2/7 Storm Discussion Thread

NWS has issued Winter Storm Warnings for counties generally south of I-89 for 6-12" of snow. Advisories continue for the north for 4-8" of snow.

The two part system has already begun with pretty decent snowfall coming out of the sky here in Burlington this morning. We'll have a 4-5 hour snowfall this morning which will generally end completely by noon. Then we'll just see scattered flurries or snow showers between noon and 7pm. Part two arrives this evening and its snowing again by 10pm across the region. Snow could fall heavily early on in the night before tapering to a steady, light snow after midnight. Model progs then want a light snow to persist through Thursday morning.

QPF has looked decent with over a half an inch at the Canadian border, up to an inch at BTV and an inch and a half to our south. It won't snow the whole time but we've got a good thing going over the next 24 hours. I'll be staying with 4-8" as a forecast for north of I-89 but based on model QPF and situation that has unfolded with mainly snow from the beginning, I do think areas between Killington and I-89 will net the highest snowfall of 8-14". This is a pretty substantial increase this late in the game but think this storm drops at least a foot in the SB/MRG area...that's for you, Greg

Having not seen it snow like it means business in Burlington in some time, this morning its nice to wake up to. Long live winter!

Dangum it Scott, that's a whipper-snapper's dream.

Danny, can you start dropping quarters instead of dimes? We'd probably get more snow.

I smell Ullr sacrifice smoke...

OK, Friday is now blocked on my calendar (Thursday won't work for me... so you'll get the goods...)

Some places in the ADKs and Northern Greens could get 12+ over the next couple of days. With cold air working South everybody should get something out of it. It's about time.Here's hoping the cold air stays around for awhile.

Holy Shit! It looks like it's dumping up there! I wish I could leave right now. Thanks for the updates KingM & Powderfreak! Everyone stayed positive and whola!
Pouring in Framingham, MA. The perfect storm for me anyway. Dump up north, don't have to lift a shovel!
Sucks I can't get out of work the next couple days. Have to get out there early Saturday somewhere!
Maybe Southern Vermont will luck out in the next round tonight!
