What’s Headed Your Way?
- Heavy Snowfall: The snow will keep coming down through Saturday night into Sunday morning, with intense bursts of 1-2 inches per hour.
- Treacherous Travel: Roads will be slick and snow-covered, so driving will be dangerous. If you don’t have to go out, stay home!

- Flight Cancellations: Airports, including Burlington, could see major travel disruptions.
- Possible Power Outages: Heavy, wet snow combined with gusty winds might knock down trees and power lines.
How to Stay Safe
- Stay Off the Roads: If you don’t need to travel, don’t. If you must drive, keep an emergency kit in your car.
- Stock Up on Essentials: Have plenty of food, water, batteries, and backup heat sources in case of power outages.
- Bundle Up: Dress in layers and limit time outside to avoid frostbite.
- Stay Updated: Keep an eye on local weather alerts so you’re always prepared.
Snow will ease up by early Sunday afternoon, but the cold and icy roads will stick around. If you have travel plans, allow extra time and drive carefully.
