Burlington, Vermont has received over 70 inches of snow this winter including another 10 over the weekend. Burlington Free Press Photo - Glenn Russell I always believe mother nature has a way of balancing out the weather over the course of a year or even a season. We are feeling that balance right now as we are generously re-payed for our lack of snow in January. Another couple of centimeters fell overnight after the 15-25cm surprise that hit overnight Saturday. This brings the total snowfall for February 1st to 6th to over 40cm (only 30cm fell the entire month of January). Yesterday was as spectacular as Saturday, sunny and very mild at 1C. It was an odd weekend with the heavy wet snow sandwiched between the two near perfect winter days. You could have almost slept through the storm.
The clean up is underway this morning. I noticed several municipalities on the island of Montreal rapidly moving snowbanks out of the way and widening streets in anticipation of the next snowfall. Winter weather advisories are in effect today for Vermont and Northern New York once again. Low pressure and an associated arctic boundary are forecast to approach the region over the next 24 hours. Snow will develop tonight and taper off late Tuesday. The snow will be light but we can't rule out a burst of moderate snow, especially along the arctic front late Tuesday. It will become windy and much colder by Wednesday with temperatures below normal for a few days with lows in the minus teens and highs around -6C. The snowfall over the next 24 hours in the Montreal area could approach 15cm.
