A significant winter storm has brought hazardous travel conditions to the Champlain Valley due to heavy, wet “greasy” snow. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for northern New York and Vermont, as snowfall rates reach up to 2 inches per hour. This type of snow, characterized by its dense and moisture-laden flakes, is rapidly accumulating on roadways, causing reduced visibility and increasing the risk of accidents.
