Detailed Discussion
A low-pressure system will be absorbed by another weather system moving to our north, bringing additional scattered snow showers across the region. Clouds will increase from the west as pressure decreases this afternoon, delivering light snow showers north. A minor shortwave will pass the Great Lakes today, absorbing some moisture; however, the cold front swinging in lacks organization. It’ll snow in some spots this evening after sunset, but little is expected in terms of accumulations. A dusting to a few inches mainly over the northern peaks, heaviest around sunset, then flurries dissipate after midnight. Southern winds have moderated temperatures; highs today closer to mid and upper 20s north, above freezing south of Route 4.
This cold front will firmly set in place on Monday, bringing wind chills in the single digits. During the morning, temperatures will feel below zero in most places, with gusts up to 20 mph. Winds let up during the afternoon. Daytime temperatures stay in the mid to low teens, single digits in the NEK, around 20 in the Upper Valley. Winter weather looks set to continue into Monday before a stronger high-pressure system moves in. Once that arrives, temperatures will drop again, first into the single digits and then back below zero as we head toward mid-week.

On this date 26 years ago, in 1998, people were walking around in t-shirts as the warmest December weather of the 20th century sent thermometers into the 60s. Burlington tied its December record at 67, while St. Johnsbury and Montpelier also reached 67 to establish a new monthly record for both stations. Other December records included 65 in Massena, NY, and a toasty 73 in Concord, NH. All of these records came in the morning as a sharp cold front ended the warmth with scattered snow squalls.
