· IS THIS WINTER FROM HERE INTO CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY? So-So… likely some warm ups with more of an oscillation between warm and cold. Jet stream energy will be La Nina like with a storm track near or north of the Canadian border bring both warm and cold phases as storm systems pass through this melts snow and brings = ICE.

· Transitions today with lots of clouds hanging tough near the mountains, but a dry day. Clouds on the wane tonight, leads to two exceptionally fine November Days tomorrow and Saturday.

· Have the coat, parka gloves ready to go with a big change toward Reality and colder conditions.

· Travel ahead of Thanksgiving Holiday will be affected. Some very heavy Lake Effect snows were in order across many of the regions immediately east and southeast of the Great Lakes, however slightly elevated across higher terrain as opposed to right at lake shores.

· Tug Hill Plateau likely better than 1 foot, but locally before Thanksgiving greater than 6” amounts across the Green Mountain summits.
