The primary impact will be on higher-elevation areas in the Northeast, particularly in Vermont, where the heaviest snow is forecast. Snowfall totals could reach up to 10 inches in some locations, with gusty winds of 30-40 mph potentially redistributing snow in exposed areas. Lower elevations will see rain, and the snow will initially be dense due to near-freezing temperatures. Travel in mountainous regions may be affected, and snowmaking opportunities could be limited by a warming trend expected next week.
