A winter storm is expected to reach Vermont this evening that could bring 7 to 11 inches of snow in the north, and 3 to 6 inches in southern Vermont.
It comes after thewarmest January in Vermonton record with exceptionally little snowpack, and two notably destructive storms that hit the state in December.
This storm should be more typical.
“We are looking at a pretty solid, Vermont-style storm,” said Jessica Storm, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
That means light and fluffy snow with isolated power outages.
“Our main concern is more about travel — especially the morning commute tomorrow because that will coincide with the heaviest snow occurring tonight into tomorrow,” Storm said.
