Vermont – Gray clouds hang low over Lake Champlain this morning, and light snowflakes drift across downtown Burlington as temperatures sit near 24 degrees. Side streets look powdery, and untreated sidewalks remain slick under a biting north wind.
According to the National Weather Service in Burlington, scattered snow showers continue through late morning with less than 1 inch of accumulation expected. North winds near 10 mph keep wind chills in the teens. Drivers along I-89 and Route 7 should expect brief reductions in visibility and patchy slick spots.
Skies gradually brighten this afternoon with highs near 26 degrees. Some melting may occur where pavement is treated, but the thaw will be limited. Once temperatures slide back toward the teens after sunset, any wet patches can refreeze quickly. This is prime flash-freeze season across Chittenden County. Slow down on bridges and shaded roads.
Friday turns mostly sunny with a high near 28, offering a crisp but quieter stretch. Valentine’s Day Saturday stays mostly cloudy with highs near 32. A slight chance of snow returns Friday night, though little accumulation is expected.
Sunday brings partial sunshine and highs near 31 before clouds increase again Sunday night. While no major storm is on the immediate horizon, light snow chances linger into early next week.
The 6-10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures across the Northeast. Highs may push into the mid- to upper 30s and possibly near 40 by midweek, hinting at subtle February thaw signals.
