... Winter storm to impact the north country Tuesday into
Wednesday...

... Winter Storm Warning in effect from 10 am Tuesday to 7 PM EST
Wednesday...

The National Weather Service in Burlington has issued a Winter
Storm Warning... which is in effect from 10 am Tuesday to 7 PM EST
Wednesday for Vermont and northern New York.

Snowfall accumulations through Wednesday evening are expected to
be 6 to 10 inches across the Saint Lawrence River valley... 8 to 14
inches across the Adirondacks of northern New York... 10 to 15
inches across much of Vermont and the Champlain Valley of New York
with locally higher amounts possible in favored higher terrain.

Snow will overspread northern New York and Vermont Tuesday morning
into early afternoon and persist through midday Wednesday. Snow may
be heavy at times Tuesday night and may briefly mix with sleet
over southern Vermont. Thereafter... wraparound snow and snow
showers will continue into Wednesday evening in northern
Vermont... the Adirondacks and the Champlain Valley of New York
before gradually ending after midnight.

In addition... brisk northwest winds will develop and increase to 10
to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph during Wednesday. This will create
blowing and drifting of the snow causing poor visibilities and
hazardous driving conditions.

Persons across the north country should take the necessary actions
and prepare for this upcoming winter event. Avoid any unnecessary
travel. If you must travel... let someone know your timetable and
the Route you will use. If you feel your roof may be vulnerable to
heavy snow loads... please take precautionary action. Also... remember
to check and clear outside vents to prevent the possible build-up
of Carbon monoxide gases.

Please stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio... your local media... or
go to www.Weather.Gov/Burlington for further updates on this
weather situation.

It's some screwed up weather back East alright--I've been waiting to pick up a new Cessna 206 out of Erie PA for 2 weeks--too much icing conditions to even think about it and I've gotta be in Aridzona next week for spring training so I'll probably lose that ferry job >:(
It's pretty much like spring here in NORTHERN CA---temps in the 50s, lots of sunshine, trees blooming (eat yer hearts out snowbunnies) :'(

Thats the good news------Bad news was a vet bill for 645 dollars for spring checkup for my dogs today but that's how ya keep em healthy------RIGHT? Don Yan

Not everywhere in the world is as cold as Perth: I quote:

"What is "Fire season"?
FIRE SEASON is the time of year when weather and vegetation conditions combine to make wildland fires more likely within a given area.

Statistics show that, on Mark Twain National Forest, danger of wildland fires increases from February 1 through May 15, and October 10 through December 10."
