Burlington, VT — Frigid weather conditions are set to intensify tonight as temperatures plunge, bringing wind chills as low as -25°F. A Cold Weather Advisory has been issued for the region, including areas near I-89, warning residents of the potential for frostbite and hypothermia.
According to the National Weather Service, light snow will taper off this afternoon as high pressure moves in. However, breezy northerly winds and plunging temperatures tonight will create dangerously cold wind chills. Those venturing outdoors should dress in multiple layers, including insulated outerwear, gloves, and hats. Avoid prolonged exposure to prevent frostbite, which can occur within minutes in these conditions.
Looking ahead, Sunday will remain frigid, with high temperatures near 14°F and wind chills still in the subzero range. Snow is expected to return Monday night, likely accumulating 1–2 inches across the Burlington area. By Christmas Day, the weather will turn partly sunny but remain cold, with highs reaching only 28°F.
Travelers along I-89 and surrounding roadways should prepare for icy conditions and low visibility during snowfall. Officials urge residents to check weather.gov for updates and to ensure vehicles are equipped for winter driving.
Stay indoors as much as possible, and keep emergency kits ready in case of power outages or travel delays. Vermont residents are reminded to help neighbors in need, especially the elderly, who may be more vulnerable to extreme cold.
