Winter Storm Beginning to Wind Down...



Morning Update...

Quick and final update on the storm this morning as system begins to wind up and push north into Canada. Last of the advisories have been dropped or allowed to expire this shift across upstate New York and western New England. Per latest radar, Back edge of precip rapidly moving off to the north and east thru New York with still some mixing going on across the highest peaks of the Adirondacks with all other sites reporting rain at this time where precip is falling. Several reports of 2-4" thus far across the Adirondacks/Greens of NY/VT, with a T-1" being reported across most valley locals of eastern/northern NY.

Into northern New Hampshire and much of Maine, steadier precip was still falling, especially across the northwestern half of Maine, with the backedge currently across NY still to move thru. Latest radar shows much of the precip falling as a mix across central/northern Maine, with snow confined to the far north. For this reason, feel another inch or two is still possible across interior sections thru noon today, especially across the northwestern half of the state and higher terrain. Several reports of over 3" across the western mtns of Aroostook cnty as of late Sunday evening... so total snowfall will likely end up in the 4-5" range in this area.

Behind departing system, a brief episode of Lake Effect snows off Lakes Erie and Ontario beginning this evening and lasting into the better part of Tuesday. Lake Effect Snow Advisories have been hoisted to the east-northeast of both lakes for upwards of 8" in the most persistent snow bands. Will re-assess this event later this morning or early afternoon.
