Burlington, VT – Snow is forecast to hit northern Vermont tonight into Tuesday morning, creating hazardous conditions across roadways, including I-89. Gusty winds could reduce visibility, making travel dangerous for commuters and emergency responders alike.
According to the National Weather Service, snowfall totals could reach up to 5 inches in localized areas like Cranberry Lake, while gusts may peak at 50 mph. Blowing snow may create near-whiteout conditions along bridges and overpasses, which are expected to ice over by early Tuesday. Travelers are encouraged to monitor updates and avoid unnecessary travel.
Tuesday’s forecast includes a chance of morning snow showers, with temperatures peaking at 17°F and wind chills as low as -7F. By midweek, snow is likely to continue, with accumulation possible through Wednesday afternoon. Winds are expected to subside Thursday as skies clear and temperatures dip to single digits overnight.
Stay prepared by stocking vehicles with emergency kits, allowing extra commute time, and following road condition updates via Vermont’s 511 service. Local authorities advise residents to clear snow early to prevent icing.
