Montpelier, VT – Roads across Vermont remain treacherous this evening as temperatures continue to fall, causing icy conditions and slick travel despite the expiration of ice storm warnings.
According to the Vermont State Police, troopers responded to 55 additional weather-related crashes between 11 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday, including 32 on interstate highways and 23 on secondary roads. The majority of incidents occurred in southern Vermont, with five injuries reported.
Since 7 p.m. Sunday, troopers have documented a total of 147 crashes connected to the winter storm system, which coated much of the state with a mix of ice, snow, and freezing rain. Eight people have been injured during the multi-day event.
Officials warn that temperatures are rapidly dropping, and wet patches may quickly freeze overnight. Drivers are urged to avoid unnecessary travel and to use extreme caution if they must be on the road.
Photos shared by police show cruisers responding to multiple slide-offs and vehicles off the roadway amid icy, snow-covered conditions.
Authorities advise motorists to reduce speed, increase following distance, and prepare for changing conditions, especially in shaded or higher-elevation areas where ice may persist into Tuesday morning.
