Burlington, VT – Flurries drift across windshields this morning under a low gray sky and biting northwest breeze, a familiar mid-December pattern setting in for northern Vermont. The National Weather Service in Burlington reports light snow showers continuing today, with temperatures struggling to climb above the mid-20s and wind chills dipping into the teens.
The air feels brisk and dry, but by Saturday, a new round of snow showers will move through the region as a weak clipper system slides across the Northeast. Most areas around Burlington, St. Albans, and the Green Mountains will see less than an inch of accumulation, though roads could still turn slick in bursts of snow. Gusts near 35 mph could create brief whiteout conditions on open stretches of I-89 and Route 7.
Friday offers a brief calm with sunshine and highs near 26°F, before the next system brushes through Saturday afternoon. Temperatures will drop again Sunday into the teens, keeping snow cover frozen in place and the air feeling distinctly Arctic. Early next week brings a mix of clouds and cold sunshine, but another light snow chance lingers by midweek.
5-Day Outlook (Dec. 11–15):
- Friday: Mostly sunny, high 26°F.
- Saturday: Chance of snow showers, high 29°F.
- Sunday: Snow showers likely, high 24°F.
- Monday: Mostly sunny, high 19°F.
- Tuesday: Mostly cloudy, high 28°F.
