Outside Burlington International Airport, Greg Hanson with the National Weather Service measures how many inches of rain the recent snow storm would translate too.
"We're still collecting information trying to see what exactly happened where was the heaviest snow," Hanson said.
Hanson says our area is below the snowfall average typical for this time of the year. That means less potential for a flood although the recent snow storm isn't making matters any better..
"This doesn't help any for the spring flood threat," Hanson said.
"I was kind of glad last week to see high water in the rivers cause that was letting some of the snow melt go."
Even with this recent snow storm predictions are that it's not going to be a bad season in terms of flooding.
What would make things worse though is some rainy weather combined with warm temperatures.
"What I like to see in the spring is good maple sugaring weather," Hanson said.
"That's what I like to see is a kind of slow, every now and then we get a slow pulse of melt happen. So now we're kind of sliding backward when we had more snow back on top of that."
"Vermont and northern New York are really under the gun for flooding year round."
