Burlington, VT – Snow and rain will impact Vermont starting Sunday, March 2, as winter weather lingers into early spring. The National Weather Service (NWS) warns of accumulating snowfall Sunday night into Monday, followed by rain and snow showers through midweek.
According to the NWS, northern and central Vermont could see 1 to 4 inches of snow by Monday morning. Scattered snow showers and possible snow squalls may create hazardous driving conditions on major roads, including I-89 and Route 7. Reduced visibility and slick surfaces are likely, especially during bursts of heavier snowfall.
As the system moves through, temperatures will remain in the 30s, with gusty winds making it feel colder. By Tuesday, a mix of rain and snow is expected across the region, increasing the risk of icy roads. The latter half of the week will see occasional showers, with a continued chance of snowfall in higher elevations.
Residents should prepare for winter driving conditions, allow extra travel time, and monitor local advisories for potential updates. Road crews are expected to treat highways, but untreated surfaces may become slippery.
Looking ahead, Vermont’s transition to spring remains slow, with fluctuating temperatures and precipitation expected through the first half of March. Travelers and commuters should remain cautious and stay informed as conditions evolve.
