Burlington, VT – A low-pressure system is moving through northern New York and Vermont today, bringing a mix of rain and snow showers, particularly at higher elevations. Snow could accumulate in some areas above 2,000 feet, with a light coating expected in these regions by 8 p.m.
According to the National Weather Service, abundant low clouds will persist throughout the day, with precipitation ending by the late afternoon and some clearing anticipated. Areas most impacted by snow will be in the mountains, with more significant snowfall occurring over the highest peaks of the Adirondacks and Green Mountains.
Travelers in these areas should prepare for slick conditions, especially along mountain passes and higher terrain routes like Interstate 89 in Vermont and Interstate 87 in New York. While the snowfall won’t be substantial, it may create hazardous travel conditions, especially for those unfamiliar with winter driving on mountain roads.
Conditions should improve later in the afternoon, but stay updated for any additional advisories as the weather system clears out.
