A potent winter storm arrived in northern New York and New England late Monday night, bringing with it snowfall that could produce widespread accumulations of 6 inches or more. The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for nearly the entire region ahead of the event. More than 8 inches of accumulation has already been reported in some areas of southern Vermont, according to data provided by the NWS. The storm has already produced more than 5 inches in much of New York’s Clinton County. Steady snowfall is tapering off for much of the region, but a second storm axis in the Gulf of Maine is expected to bring more accumulating snowfall Tuesday afternoon. “That’s actually going to push some moisture back into our area, kind of recharging some of these bands later in the afternoon,” meteorologist Caitlin Napoleoni said. “While some of us may be finding a break from the snow, we have more on the way.” Snow-related crashes have been reported by police in both Vermont and New Hampshire; no injuries have been reported. With winds and the possibility for snow drifts continuing throughout the day, transportation authorities are asking residents to limit travel and be mindful of safe driving practices. Some communities at higher elevations may see a foot of snow by late Wednesday morning. Lingering snowfall, however, won’t be as heavy — lighter snow with a gusty breeze is expected in the later hours of this system. Showers will become steady again by Wednesday morning, creating the possibility of additional accumulation in time for the morning commute. Snowfall is forecasted to taper off shortly after that. A messy but weaker system arrives Friday and will bring us some rain and snow mix in the afternoon with some snow on the tail end overnight as a cold front passes, and we’ll be back to the dry weather for Saturday.
