Vermont wakes to a sharp February chill as overcast skies hang low over Burlington before sunrise. Temperatures sit at 24 degrees, and wind chills dip into the teens. Light snow showers taper off, but untreated roads and sidewalks remain icy in spots.
Drivers along I-89 and Route 7 should watch for slick patches, especially on bridges. Early visibility stays good, yet the cold keeps surfaces firm and frozen.
Clouds gradually thin through the day. Highs climb to 36 degrees, offering limited melting. Refreezing develops quickly after sunset as lows drop near 28 degrees tonight. A few passing snow showers may brush the Champlain Valley after midnight.
Tuesday turns milder by February standards. Highs reach near 40 degrees with mostly cloudy skies. Any morning flurries fade, and roads improve during the afternoon.
Attention shifts to Wednesday, February 18. Snow becomes likely by afternoon as a fresh system tracks through northern New York and Vermont. Highs hold near 34 degrees, keeping precipitation mainly snow. Wednesday night looks colder, with lows plunging near 14 degrees and snow likely before daybreak Thursday. Even modest accumulation could impact the Thursday morning commute.
Thursday brings sunshine but brisk air. Highs hover near 30 degrees. Another round of scattered snow showers may return late week.
Looking into President’s Day Week, temperatures trend closer to seasonal averages. The 6–10 day outlook hints at a gradual thaw rather than a Polar Vortex surge. Winter still grips Burlington, but a slow moderation appears possible heading into early next week.
