Vermont – Light snowflakes mix with mist across Burlington this morning, while a stiff north wind pushes across Lake Champlain and into city streets. Visibility dips at times, and untreated roads are turning slushy, especially on bridges along I-89 and Route 7. If you’re heading out now, expect reduced traction and brief bursts of snow.
According to the National Weather Service, scattered snow showers continue through the morning with minor accumulation under half an inch, while wind gusts reach up to 22 mph. Temperatures hover near 31°F, keeping surfaces right on the edge of freezing and allowing slush to build in shaded areas.
Conditions improve by midday as clouds break and winds gradually ease, but the bigger concern develops after sunset. Temperatures fall sharply toward 15°F, setting the stage for flash freezing. Any melted snow or standing water may harden quickly on sidewalks, parking lots, and untreated roads across Chittenden County.
Saturday brings a brighter stretch, with mostly sunny skies and highs near 30°F. It stays crisp but calmer, offering a break from active weather. By Sunday, clouds increase again with a milder push lifting highs into the mid-40s.
Looking ahead to Monday, temperatures climb to around 51°F with partly sunny skies before a late-day shift introduces a rain and snow mix by evening. That signals a more unsettled pattern heading into early next week, with additional showers likely into Tuesday and Wednesday.
For now, take it slow on slick roads and watch for icy patches early. Are you seeing snow stick where you are this morning?
