Winter Weather in Eastern Franklin, Vermont

Snowfall totals of 4 to 7 inches were observed.

A weak, but complex area of low pressure traveled from the Mid-Atlantic Appalachians on November 9th across eastern New England during the afternoon and evening of November 10th.

Precipitation started as a cold rain (temperatures in the 30s to around 40) during the 10th. As low pressure tracked across eastern New England and slightly strengthened during the late afternoon and evening rain changed to snow, heavy at times during the evening commute. This accounted for numerous (dozens and dozens) vehicle accidents across the Champlain Valley. Highest snowfall totals were 4 to 7 inches in the Champlain Valley of Grand Isle, Franklin and Chittenden counties quickly dropping off to 2 to 4 inches in neighboring counties.

Light snow and persistent snow showers fell during the late afternoon and evening commute on November 11th. Snowfall amounts were generally less than one inch but with falling temperatures below freezing and untreated roads...dozens of vehicle accidents were reported with numerous road closures. Impacts were possibly greater than the November 10th snowfall.
