| Episode Narrative | A very vigorous upper level disturbance ejected from south central Canada toward the Mid-Atlantic coast on February 22nd, which resulted in the development of a coastal storm south of New England by the afternoon. This storm rapidly intensified during the evening and night of the 22nd as it moved across Cape Cod into the Gulf of Maine. By the morning of February 23rd, a very intense storm system was slowly moving across Nova Scotia and New Brunswick into the Canadian Maritimes. Light snow overspread Vermont during the morning of February 22nd and became moderate to heavy across much of central and eastern Vermont during the evening hours to early Monday Morning (23rd). Snowfall totals by the morning of the 23rd ranged from 6 inches in the Champlain Valley and southern Vermont to 10 to 18 inches across much of central and eastern Vermont. Some snowfall totals included; 20 inches in Sutton (Caledonia county), 19 inches in Newark (Caledonia), 16 inches in Lyndonville (Caledonia county), 14 inches in Canaan (Essex county), 13 inches in Cambridge (Lamoille county), Chelsea (Orange county), Marshfield (Washington county) and 12 inches in Windsor (Windsor county). On February 23rd, wrap around moisture from the intense Canadian Maritime storm along with northwest winds created ideal up slope conditions across the higher terrain of northern Vermont. Snow redeveloped just after daybreak and ended just before Midnight.|Several inches of additional snowfall occurred in the northern valleys with 6 to 12 inches in higher terrain communities along the western slopes across the northern Green mountains (Eastern Franklin, Lamoille, western Orleans and eastern Chittenden counties). In addition, brisk northwest winds 10 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph developed during the evening of February 22nd and continued through February 23rd. This resulted in considerable blowing and drifting of the snow which impacted travel across the region. |
