CAMNET is to raise public awareness about the effects of air pollution on visibility. This is accomplished, in part, through a network of realtime visibility cameras located at scenic urban and rural locations. CAMNET pictures are updated every 15 minutes. In addition, near realtime air pollution and meteorological data are provided to help distinguish natural from man-made causes of poor visibility, and to provide health-relevant data to the public on current air pollution levels. The air pollution and meteorological data are updated every hour.

The weekend Nor'Easter saved its best for last, dumping heavy snow across Vermont and New York late Sunday night into Monday morning. 4-8" of snow has already fallen as of early Monday morning, and an additional 2-6" is on the way before the snow departs the area from west to east as Monday progresses. That means storm totals will range from 6-12", with a few higher totals certainly possible. Several inches of snow fell Saturday night and Sunday, followed by a period of sleet and freezing rain. The heaviest snow developed Sunday night, and will wind down during the day Monday, with the Green Mountains the last place to see the snow shut off. Many area schools are closed or delayed Monday, and travel will remain difficult this morning. Police advise you to reduce your speed on the roads, and increase your following distance between your car and the one in front of you. ^popular Click here to read more.

The first Nor'Easter of 2003 was a memorable one, with many measuring the snow in feet as the storm winds down. 1-2 feet of snow was the rule of thumb for most of us, and much of that fell over the course of 24 hours. Burlington came in just under 18 inches...and the 17.4 inches Saturday was the second snowiest one-day storm total on record. ... Snowfall rates of 2-4 inches per hour were common at the height of the storm, and travel was very difficult through much of Saturday. While conditions are improving tonight, caution is still urged when out on the roads. Both Burlington and Plattsburgh are still efforting to remove today's snow, and therefore both cities continue their parking bans through Sunday morning. All cars not moved by midnight will be towed at the owner's expense. The snow was powdery, so despite the fact that feet fell, removal efforts were easier than if the snow were heavy and wet. Because of the light weight of the snow and the light winds, no major power outages were reported ^popular Click here to read more.

Nor'easter Storms in the Burlington Vermont area is a macro-scale storm along the East Coast of the United States. A Nor'easter is so named because the winds in a Nor'easter come from the northeast, especially in the coastal areas of the Northeastern United States and Atlantic Canada. More specifically, it describes a low pressure area whose center of rotation is just off the East Coast and whose leading winds in the left forward quadrant rotate onto land from the northeast. The precipitation pattern is similar to other extratropical storms. Nor'easters also can cause coastal flooding, coastal erosion, gale force winds, and heavy snow. Nor'easters are characterized by having an association with a warm front, cold front, or occluded fronts. ^popular Click here to read more.

We frequently have freezing rain during the winter time up north. Freezing Rain is a type of precipitation that begins as snow at higher altitude, falling from a cloud towards earth, melts completely on its way down while passing through a layer of air above freezing temperature, and then encounters a layer below freezing at lower level to become supercooled. This water will then freeze upon impact of any object it then encounters. The ice can accumulate to a thickness of several centimetres, called glaze ice. Usually freezing rain is associated with the approach of a warm front when cold air, at or below freezing temperature, is trapped in the lower levels of the atmosphere as warmth streams in aloft.[3] This happens, for instance, when a low pressure system moves from the Mississippi River Valley toward the Appalachian mountains and the Saint Lawrence River Valley of North America, in the cold season, and there is a strong high pressure system sitting further East. ^popular Click here to read more.
