Vermont roads glisten under a gray sky this morning, and light snow showers are still drifting across the Champlain Valley. A thin, slushy coating has formed on some untreated surfaces. Drivers in Burlington are already tapping brakes a little earlier, especially on bridges and exit ramps.
According to the National Weather Service in Burlington, light snow and pockets of freezing drizzle will continue through the morning hours. While little to no new accumulation is expected, slippery travel is possible on elevated roads, sidewalks, and parking lots. Temperatures hover in the mid-30s, but shaded spots remain slick.
Burlington climbs to near 38 degrees this afternoon with mostly cloudy skies. A mix of rain and snow showers may linger before tapering. Winds stay light, yet any brief burst of snow can reduce visibility along I-89 and Route 7. Plan extra time if you are heading out late this morning.
Colder air settles in by Wednesday night. Highs reach only the low 30s Wednesday, with a 40 percent chance of snow showers. Lows drop into the teens by late Wednesday night and again Thursday night. That sharp chill raises the risk for flash freezing after sunset, when daytime melt refreezes on untreated pavement. Watch for black ice early Thursday and Friday.
Snow chances increase again Friday, with snow likely by Friday night and into the weekend. Highs remain near freezing, keeping conditions slushy at times. Keep boots and winter gear ready.
Looking ahead, the 6–10 day outlook signals a gradual moderation. Above-normal temperatures may build in by early next week, hinting at late-February spring vibes.
