A winter storm is expected to bring moderate to heavy snowfall to Vermont and the North Country this weekend, with accumulations ranging from 1-3 inches in the Champlain Valley to 3-6 inches in parts of Windham and Windsor counties. The snow will be a welcome sight for area ski resorts, which have faced challenges from this week's mild temperatures and record warmth.

Why it matters

The snowfall will provide a much-needed boost to Vermont's ski industry, which has seen a decline in visitors and revenue due to the recent warm weather. The additional snow is expected to draw more skiers and snowboarders to the slopes, helping to offset the economic impact of the earlier mild conditions.

The details

The storm is expected to bring the heaviest snowfall to the southern and eastern parts of Vermont, with the Champlain Valley and northern regions seeing lighter accumulations. Ski resorts in areas like Killington, Stowe, and Stratton are likely to see the most significant snowfall, with 2-4 inches or more expected in those areas.

• The snow is expected to begin this evening and continue into the overnight hours.
• The heaviest snowfall is expected to occur overnight and into Saturday morning.

What’s next

Ski resorts in the affected areas are preparing for the influx of visitors by ensuring that their slopes and facilities are ready to accommodate the expected increase in traffic.
