On the afternoon of February 23rd through the evening hours of February 24th, the combination of a large developing upper atmospheric low pressure system across the lower Great Lakes and Ohio River Valley with a surface low south of New England accounted for a prolonged fetch of sub-tropical Atlantic moisture to feed back into marginally cold air across New England.
A heavy wet snow fell across Vermont that resulted in snowfall accumulations of 6 to 30 inches with the higher amounts in the higher terrain of central and southern Vermont. The weight of the heavy snow accounted for widespread power outages across the region that resulted in upwards of 50,000 customers without power.
Some specific snowfall totals include; 32 inches in Warren (Washington county) and Ludlow (Windsor county), 31 inches in Waitsfield (Washington county), 26 inches in Randolph Center, Brookfield (Orange county) and Pomfret (Windsor county), 24 inches in Moretown (Washington county) and Hanksville (Chittenden county), 22 inches in Nashville (Chittenden county) and Northfield (Washington county), 20 inches in Walden (Caledonia county) and Stowe (Lamoille county), 18 inches in South Burlington, Williston (Chittenden county), Lincoln (Addison county) and Danby (Rutland).
