Impressive wind event in progress for BTV's area...lots of reports of winds up to 70-80mph with trees snapped, shingles and siding off homes. Downslope winds never fail to be impressive in the VT side of the Champlain Valley/Burlington suburbs/western slopes...

Rain now beginning to mix with mangled flakes here on the backside of the storm. 37° F and dropping fast. The west slope upslope machine is now starting to fire up.

Areas that were getting shadowed earlier are now seeing enhancement. Interesting stuff.

Good luck, Mitch--hope you can pile on a few.

37.9/34

Power back on. Trees and power lines down across roads in quite a few places. 62 mph gust here at home in Bath when the squall line came through. Shortly after, winds dropped off substantially to gusts around 15 to 20 mph. Now just a gentle breeze. Currently 43.8°F. Snowfall this morning was 1/2 inch and rainfall today 0.89 inch.
