E said she saw a touch of snow in the air yesterday in Morrisville, but I didn’t see any while I was in Burlington. Last night at around 8:00 or 9:00 P.M., we had some flurries/light snow coming down in Waterbury, but it seemed to stop quickly and I didn’t expect to get any accumulation. However, this morning I was pulling the car out of the garage and noticed that even the driveway areas that hadn’t had any snow left on them were now covered with white, so I went and checked the snowboard. There sat 0.6 inches of fluffy snow, nothing super dry, probably just 4-6% H₂O by my estimates, but I didn’t try to do the water content for such a small amount. Here on the UVM campus in Burlington (380’) there’s essentially no new snow and the ground is bare, although when I looked very closely I could see an almost unperceivable skiff on a few surfaces. So, I guess Burlington got a few flurries as well, and temperatures were clearly cold enough to keep such a small amount of snow from melting. It does sound like more snow is on the way even for the valleys this weekend, so I’ll update on that as warranted.
