· Around 2 to locally 5” amounts likely across the southern tier counties of Vermont, with lighter amounts further north. The snow to be wet and “Velcro-like” and may affect power if it’s heavy enough weighing on trees and power lines especially far southern Vermont.

· Northern Vermont precip indicated by ECMWF model at much lighter amounts but still a travel head-ache for Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.
