Burlington, VT – Drivers across Vermont could hit sudden slick spots within minutes this morning as fast-moving snow showers sweep through, briefly cutting visibility and coating roads.
According to the National Weather Service in Burlington, another round of snow showers is moving across the region from mid-morning through the afternoon, with total accumulations generally between 0.5 and 2.7 inches by early evening. Higher elevations, including parts of the Adirondacks and Green Mountains, are expected to pick up the higher totals, while valley locations like Burlington and Plattsburgh remain closer to 1 inch.
Road conditions may change quickly along major corridors such as I-89, Route 7, and I-87, especially during heavier bursts where visibility can drop below one mile. Local crews have not reported widespread closures, but untreated secondary roads and elevated surfaces could become briefly snow-covered.
Temperatures holding in the upper 20s to low 30s mean snow will stick during heavier showers, increasing the risk of minor spinouts during the midday and evening commute. Drivers should slow down, leave extra space, and stay alert for sudden changes.
Snow showers taper later this evening, but additional advisories could be issued if bands redevelop before sunset.
