For you Vermonters anyway.
AFTERNOON.

THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR SOUTHERN HERKIMER
AND NORTHERN FULTON COUNTIES UNTIL 6 PM TUESDAY.

THE WIND CHILL ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR SOUTHERN HERKIMER
AND NORTHERN FULTON COUNTIES UNTIL 1 PM THIS AFTERNOON.

A LAKE EFFECT SNOW BAND WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTHWARD THIS
MORNING AND SETTLE IN THE MOHAWK VALLEY BY THIS AFTERNOON. THE
BAND WILL THEN REMAIN IN THE MOHAWK VALLEY INTO TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATION FROM THIS LAKE EFFECT SNOW EVENT WILL BE 8
TO 16 INCHES.

IN ADDITION...GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS WILL CAUSE BLOWING AND DRIFTING
SNOW...RESULTING IN POOR VISIBILITY AND WHITE OUT CONDITIONS AT
TIMES.

A LAKE EFFECT SNOW WARNING MEANS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF LAKE
EFFECT SNOW ARE FORECAST THAT WILL MAKE TRAVEL VERY HAZARDOUS OR
IMPOSSIBLE. LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS TYPICALLY ALIGN THEMSELVES
IN BANDS AND WILL LIKELY BE INTENSE ENOUGH TO DROP 1 TO SEVERAL
INCHES OF SNOW PER HOUR FOR SEVERAL HOURS. VISIBILITIES VARY
GREATLY AND CAN DROP TO ZERO WITHIN MINUTES. TRAVEL IS STRONGLY
DISCOURAGED. COMMERCE COULD BE SEVERELY IMPACTED. IF YOU MUST
TRAVEL...KEEP AN EXTRA FLASHLIGHT...FOOD...AND WATER IN YOUR
VEHICLE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY.

Of course I'm going out west where very little snow is forecast. Save me some.

Keeping the fingers crossed! Aligning a Mt. Snow/Stratton double shot Sat. / Sun. A little more fluff would be great.......................

the tughill plateau pisses me off. Its gotten hammered with lake affect and its just wasting away.

 

[nelsapbm]

LOL Greg - I thought the same thing!
We havent had a good dumping yet this year (in Burlington anyway). A few little ones here and there, but would love to see a couple feet. Too bad Lake Champlain wasnt wider!
I wish our forecast looked like the one above. Instead, it looks like this! BRRRRRR.
WIND CHILL ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM EST THIS
AFTERNOON...

THE WIND CHILL ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM EST THIS
AFTERNOON FOR THE SAINT LAWRENCE VALLEY...THE CHAMPLAIN
VALLEY AND MUCH OF VERMONT.

WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS...WITH GUSTS UP TO 20 TO 30 MPH WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE AREA
WILL NOT REACH MUCH ABOVE 10 DEGREES. THIS COMBINATION WILL KEEP
WIND CHILL READINGS RANGING FROM -20 TO -29 DEGREES.

A WIND CHILL ADVISORY MEANS THAT VERY COLD AIR AND STRONG WINDS
WILL COMBINE TO GENERATE LOW WIND CHILLS. IF YOU MUST VENTURE
OUTDOORS...COVER ALL EXPOSED SKIN TO PROTECT AGAINST FROSTBITE
AND HYPOTHERMIA.

tughill always gets pounded. most of those areas have a snow day right now. im waiting for the day when there is a snowday here, i get let out of work for it and can go skiing

 

[kingslug]

Hmmmmm. I was in the vermont area forecast when I clicked on the advisory. Hey who knows. It's not like they can predict the weather or anything.

Not according to snowmobilers.

Here's a picture from Elmira, NY It makes me very jealous :???:

 

[Goblin84]

[skimore]

don't. I used to live in the lake effect bands of snow in western ny. It's a PITA, you can't do much with it other than snowmobile, and that's only if you can deal with the "blowing and drifiting snow" Why should all the wrong places get all the snow???:-?. It's all flat, with a few pimples down in the "southern tier". that's why I moved to NE.

 

[Warp Daddy]

Yeah its nice

BUT here in St Lawrence valley we got SNOW and it's 35 BELOW ZERO windchill and getting worse tonite . there are accidents all over the place many roads closed in 2 counties with ZERO visibility

Yeah, the seaway can be a little brutal. I remember a few years back it didnt get above -20 (temp...not windchill) for two full weeks. The worst was when I was doing training at the old olympic training center in san clemente, left CA it was 85...got back to canton...it was -20 temp (-50 wind). Nothing like a 105 degree weather drop in one day
