Moderate to localized Heavy snow showers with embedded snow squalls are possible between 4 and 10 PM, mainly east of the St. Lawrence Valley. Some areas could see multiple rounds of snow showers/squalls outside of the main line which is denoted above. Snow showers clear most of the area after midnight.

This winter season so far has been colder than normal with lots of ice development of ponds, rivers and lakes. Although this allows a platform for winter recreational activities, just remember that NO ICE is 100 percent SAFE, especially as we approach Spring and milder temperatures. Use caution ALL SEASON and look at these guidelines.

NOAA Weather Radio station WXM-44, transmitting from Mt. Ascutney, Vermont, on frequency 162.475 MHz is non-operational at this time. NWS technicians have diagnosed the problem but repairs will likely not be able to occur for quite some time due to circumstances beyond our control. Therefore, the time of return to service is currently unknown.
