· Snow coated road ways with arrival of snow overspreading the region quickly will mean slow going this morning – leave a little early to get to your destination.

· This snowfall good for about 1 to locally 3” amounts by mid afternoon before snows wind down to light flurries. Temperatures will also reach into the low and mid 30s…melting back some of that in the lower valley elevations.

· Break in our weather Tuesday for a decent day – with some sunshine through increasing and thickening high clouds.

· Watch it Wednesday morning commute could also see a light coating of snow but likely not as much as what we’re seeing Monday.

· Colder and nuisance snow showers/flurry activity will remain the rest of this week.

· It was looking like a robust warm onslaught was to bring marginal mixed precip and that has since been erased with occasional snow showers flurries going into the weekend with a colder shot of modified arctic air blowing in.

· We might be entering a period of more or less “real Vermont winter weather” finally – but those conditions were likely to change later this month as well.
