We maxed out snow depths in the Green Mountains many valleys east of the Greens a few days ago, and now with rain, and yes flooding possibilities, it wears on the early fragile snowpack. I would add however, that modeling has not been stellar recently, and this projection may be off, so there is still a little hope. This will be updated next week.
