Parts of Vermont, including Burlington, are likely to experience a white Christmas as a clipper system is forecast to bring snow starting Tuesday, December 23rd, and continuing into Wednesday. Meteorologists expect accumulations of 2-4 inches in most valley locations, with higher amounts of 4-8 inches possible across the Adirondacks and the higher summits of the Green Mountains.
Minor travel impacts are anticipated, particularly during the first half of Wednesday, and especially in higher terrain areas. A winter weather advisory may be issued for northern regions of Vermont and the Adirondacks. While Burlington is expected to receive around two inches of snow, the precise accumulation will vary by location.
A white Christmas is traditionally defined as having at least one inch of snow on the ground by 7 a.m. local time on December 25th.
