· “nuisance snow showers /flurries” will rule today into tonight as more moisture rolls into Vermont on a brisk northwesterly flow.

· Oddball snowfall highly variable from town to town this particular storm with most seen along western slopes and in the NE. Kingdom.

· Below NW. flow Terrain driven precip in light gray – never abates until the overnight – early Friday morning. Yet the actual storm system responsible was near Cape Breton NS. way far away.

Looking at Clipper system messing with Saturday night and Sunday pushing moisture into the region with clouds and mixed snow or rain showers.
