Statement as of 10:07 AM EST on January 01, 2008
... Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 10 am EST Wednesday...
A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 10 am EST Wednesday for the St. Lawrence Valley of New York and north-central and northeastern Vermont... including the western slopes of the northern Green Mountains. Through mid- morning Wednesday... storm total snowfall amounts of 6 to 10 inches... with isolated amounts up to 12 inches... are expected in these areas.
Accumulating snow is developing rapidly this morning from southwest to northeast across the north country. Look for snow to continue heavy at times this afternoon... followed by periods of snow tonight into Wednesday morning.
The highest snowfall amounts with this storm are expected near the international border. Both the St. Lawrence Valley of New York and north central and northeast Vermont will see storm total snowfall amounts ranging from 6 to 10 inches... with isolated amounts up to 12 inches possible.
In addition... as Arctic air moves into the region Wednesday morning in the wake of the low pressure system... areas of blowing and drifting snow can be expected as northerly winds gust up to 35 mph.
Travel will likely become difficult today. If you must travel... allow plenty of extra time to reach your destination. Also... be sure you have a full tank of gas in your vehicle. Your winter weather survival kit should be fully stocked and in the trunk or cargo area of your vehicle.
Ugh.... On top of the almost 2 feet already on the ground...

Wow, 50?!? I hope you took advantage of the heat wave and went swimming.. after your outdoor BBQ, that is. ;D
One of my Christmas presents was the (too true) Vermont weather forecast poster... you know, the "hot & sunny, followed by 42" of snow, then tropical heat with thunderstorms and flooding"... the usual run of the mill there. :D
