–Winter Storm Warnings are up tonight for SVT with an additional 5-10″ possible through Monday morning
–An additional coating to 2″ is possible in the western hilltowns, eastern Windham County VT and northern Litchfield County from this afternoon into Monday morning
–Snow showers should abate into the afternoon, but wind will not!
–Wind Advisories are up for much of Monday as the upper low pushes much colder air aloft into our region, which will allow stronger winds to mix to the ground, with gusts of 40-60mph possible on Monday
–This could cause some outages and blowing snow, lowering visibility during travel
–Lastly, Flood Warnings are renewed for northern CT and the CT River at Thompsonville and Hartford where additional minor flooding is happening and forecast
–Monday night should feature clearing with blustery conditions and lows in the 20s before we turn a page and get some milder temps with highs in the 50s Tuesday through Thursday with more in the way of sunshine
–Thereafter another unsettled period may arrive Thursday night into the weekend with at least a couple of more showery chances

YOUR MORNING DISCUSSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning folks, please let me know how much snow you saw yesterday, if any.

I did see a report last night in SVT of 5″, but am curious as to how the snow and ice laid out in your hills and dales.

The Nutshell above has lots of details for what’s coming, but the bottom line is that more accumulating snowfall is coming for the Berkshires, Taconics and SVT this afternoon and overnight into Monday, as well as plenty of wind, which will peak tomorrow morning as the upper low passes east and overhead.

Additional outages are possible (I saw about 1000 last night in SVT) due to high wind gusts of 40-60mph on Monday morning, with a slight slackening in the afternoon.

I will post a more detailed discussion by late afternoon with an update of expected weather conditions for tonight through Monday.

Have a great day and if you depend on my work each year, please chip in whatever is comfortable for you at the secure link below so I can continue through 2024… even $5 helps, thank you…

“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you’ve got a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies: Goddamn it, you’ve got to be kind.”
–Kurt Vonnegut
