Vermont – A prolonged winter storm brought widespread snowfall across Vermont from January 23 through January 26, with top totals reaching one foot, according to compiled storm reports.
The highest snowfall total reported in the state was 12.0 inches in Springfield, making it the snowiest observed location in Vermont during the multi-day event. Several additional communities across southern and central Vermont recorded near-double-digit totals, highlighting the storm’s steady and widespread impact.
Among other high-end reports, Bouplon Corner (2 miles northeast) measured 10.0 inches, while Chester also recorded 10.0 inches. Readsboro (5 miles northwest) reported 9.0 inches, as did Reading, rounding out the top snowfall totals across the state.
Snowfall totals across much of Vermont generally ranged from 9 to 12 inches, with locally lower amounts in northern areas and higher totals concentrated across southern portions of the state. Snow accumulated steadily over multiple days rather than falling in a single intense burst, prolonging impacts on travel and snow removal operations.
Road conditions deteriorated across major corridors including Interstates 89 and 91, along with state routes and mountain roads, particularly during overnight and early morning hours. Snow-covered roads, reduced visibility, and ongoing plowing operations slowed travel across many communities.
Cleanup efforts continued after snowfall ended as cold temperatures limited melting, allowing snowpack to persist on roadsides, sidewalks, and parking areas. Narrowed roadways and snowbanks reduced visibility at intersections, creating lingering safety concerns.
The January 23–26 storm ranks among the more notable winter snow events of the season for Vermont, contributing meaningfully to seasonal snowfall totals and reinforcing an active winter pattern across the region.
