Vermont – Light snow swirls across Lake Champlain as gusty winds push winter deeper into Burlington, coating sidewalks and creating slick stretches before the day is done.
Snow showers are expected to develop and intensify at times today, with the best chances from late morning through afternoon. According to the National Weather Service in Burlington, accumulations remain light, but steady bursts of snow and wind gusts over 20 mph may briefly reduce visibility. Highs hover near 29 degrees, allowing snow to stick on colder surfaces.
Travel impacts increase as temperatures fall. Roads including I-89, Route 7, and local hill roads may turn slick, especially during heavier snow bursts. Drivers should slow down and watch for patches of black ice where snow melts and refreezes.
Tonight remains active with scattered snow showers before tapering late. Lows dip into the mid-teens, locking in icy conditions for early Sunday travel. Pedestrians should use caution on untreated sidewalks and parking lots.
Sunday brings a quieter but colder pattern. Skies turn partly sunny, yet highs struggle to reach 23 degrees. Northwest winds add a biting feel, keeping wind chills near zero at times. Outdoor plans should be limited, and winter layers are strongly advised.
Another round of snow showers may develop late Monday into Monday night. According to the National Weather Service, chances increase after sunset, with light accumulations possible. Highs Monday stay near 22 degrees, keeping roads vulnerable to flash freezing after dark.
A gradual warm-up follows midweek. Tuesday remains cold but dry, while Wednesday climbs into the upper 30s, allowing daytime melting and nighttime refreezing. That pattern can quickly reintroduce slick travel conditions.
Winter conditions persist through the start of the week. Plan extra travel time, keep vehicles winter-ready, and stay alert to changing road conditions.
