Winter weather advisory issued for VT. Here's how much snow to expect

The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory starting Nov. 12 for parts of Vermont as the state is expected to receive its first widespread snow in a nor'easter hitting much of the northeast. Higher elevation areas are expected to be the most affected by rain, snow and cooler weather. The NWS issued the advisory early Thursday morning, Nov. 12, for the Eastern Addison and Eastern Rutland counties. It will remain active from 10 a.m. on Thursday until 10 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 13. "Impacts from snow will begin at higher elevations today becoming more widespread in the Advisory areas after 7 PM this evening as snow levels descend," the agency said in an advisory message. How much snow will Vermont get this weekend? Snow is expected mainly in areas above 1,200 feet in Vermont, like the Green Mountains. There, the NWS is expecting accumulations between two and five inches. Many towns in the state, including Belvidere, Berlin, Canaan, Charleston and Chelsea are expected to receive around 0.5 inch of snow, while others, like Cavendish, Ludlow and Manchester, may see one or more inches. .oembed-frame { width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0; border: 0; } Is it a nor'easter?
