Expect some whitening in Whiting

It appears that our first significant snow of the season is on its way. The Whiting, Vermont, area had some snow showers yesterday, and could experience some squalls tomorrow (Friday) morning. But the real fun is expected to start around midday on Saturday. Between then and Sunday afternoon, we're expecting up to half a foot of snow statewide, perhaps more in some areas.

Meteorologists are keeping an eye on two moving air masses - a clipper descending from Canada and a hefty snow-making storm sweeping in from the Midwest. (Some areas of western and northern New York State are already experiencing lake-effect snows and could be buried under a couple of feet of the white stuff by the time the storm passes.) When and where the two systems collide will determine where the snow falls and how much piles up.
