The muck, the squish, the splatter: mud region has arrived in our region.

Much of Vermont finished digging out this morning from one of the larger snowstorms of the past few years, while meteorologists remain nervous about high winds later today.

A winter storm headed for Vermont on Saturday and Sunday could drop as much as 10 inches of snow across the state, during one of the biggest weekends of the year for ski areas.

Arctic air from the polar vortex brought temperatures to nearly 20 below zero in some parts of the state Tuesday night. Highs in the 20s are expected to return this weekend.

Vermont should get between 2 to 7 inches of snow across the state Monday night into Tuesday.

A few parts of the country may get a white Christmas in 2024, but the majority will not. And in the future, shifts in weather patterns driven by global warming may make them even less likely.

An atmospheric river and developing bomb cyclone brought heavy rain and fierce winds to many areas Wednesday, as well as the possibility of flooding. The wet weather comes after New England's ski resorts experienced a stretch of early snow that attracted skiers.

Heavy rains and melting snow are forecast for our region, and that could cause area rivers 鈥� like the Otter Creek at Rutland and the Winooski at Waterbury 鈥� to rise and overflow their banks.

Early December is expected to be colder than normal in New England. But the rest of the winter has a good chance of above-average temperatures.

A Nor鈥檈aster moving up the coast is expected to arrive with snow by mid-morning Thursday and intensify through the afternoon and evening.
