MONTPELIER, Vt.—Snow, freezing rain and rain made for a messy commute Monday as a winter storm pushed eastward.
The National Weather Service has issued winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories for parts of the Great Lakes and the Northeast.
Snow fell throughout northern New England, with speeds reduced on snow-packed roads and numerous schools canceled or delayed.
The National Weather Service forecast snow across Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine with up to a foot of snow forecast for parts of southern Vermont. At least several inches were on the ground in parts of the region by Monday morning. Some rain was expected to mix with the snow in southern New Hampshire.
Into early Monday, the storm had dumped more than a half-foot on several states in the Midwest and Great Lakes regions, causing dangerous travel conditions.
It’s a “slap of reality” after a mild November, National Weather Service meteorologist Dave Schmidt in La Crosse, Wisconsin, said.
