Burlington, VT – Drivers in northern Vermont could face slick roads and rapidly changing conditions Sunday as snow moves through the region, with impacts likely to last into early Monday—particularly in the mountains and along higher-elevation roadways like Route 2 and I-89.
According to the National Weather Service in Burlington, light snow will begin Sunday morning, mixing with rain in the valleys by afternoon. Snow showers will persist into Sunday night and taper off by Monday morning, lingering longest in the Northeast Kingdom. While Champlain and Connecticut Valleys are expected to see less than an inch, up to 3 inches could fall in the St. Lawrence Valley and elevated areas, including towns like Stowe and Lincoln.
Travel impacts will be most pronounced along I-91, Route 302, and through the Green Mountains where elevation could enhance accumulation and create slippery conditions. Motorists are urged to reduce speed, use caution, and check updated road conditions before heading out.
The heaviest snow is expected from Sunday morning through late evening, with a chance of patchy slick spots lingering through the Monday morning commute. Additional weather advisories are possible if conditions worsen.
