Heavy 'Greasy' Snow Hits Northern NY and Vermont With Advisory in Effect Until 11 P.M.

Forecasters warn the dense, hard-to-clear snow raises shoveling health risks.

Overview

  • NWS Burlington reported snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour, with the heaviest band centered on the northern Champlain Valley.
  • Slick, quickly coated roads and sharply reduced visibility produced multiple crashes and prompted pleas to delay evening travel.
  • A special weather statement said the most intense snowfall would persist for roughly one to two more hours before conditions improve.
  • Forecasters described the moisture‑laden flakes as “greasy,” noting the snow can outpace plow crews and reduce the effectiveness of salt or sand.
  • Up to four additional inches are possible locally this evening, and a stronger system early next week remains a forecast with no advisories yet issued.
