Severe Winter Alert: Vermont to Endure Freezing Winds, Snowy Roads, and Bone-Chilling Temps to Start February!

Hey Vermont, winter is coming in strong! As February begins, expect frigid temperatures, some fresh snow, and gusty winds that’ll make it feel even colder. Here’s what you need to know to stay warm and safe:

Saturday, February 1:

  • Burlington: A cold day with a mix of clouds and sunshine. Highs around 10°F (-12°C), but the wind will make it feel even colder. Overnight lows will drop to a bone-chilling -5°F (-21°C).
  • Montpelier: Partly sunny but bitterly cold. Highs near 10°F (-12°C), and overnight temps will dip to -12°F (-24°C).
  • Rutland: Cloudy early, giving way to some sun. Highs will reach 17°F (-8°C), but don’t be fooled—it’ll feel colder. Lows will drop to -12°F (-25°C).

Sunday, February 2:

  • Burlington: Cloudy and a bit warmer, with snow expected in the afternoon. Accumulation of about 1 cm. Highs will be around 23°F (-5°C) and lows near 21°F (-6°C).
  • Montpelier: Cloudy skies with light snow in the afternoon, bringing a few centimeters of accumulation. Highs around 19°F (-7°C) and lows near 17°F (-8°C).

  • Rutland: Cloudy and breezy, with highs reaching 42°F (6°C) and lows around 26°F (-3°C).

What to Watch For:

  • Dangerously cold temps: With lows dipping below zero and the wind making it feel even colder, frostbite can happen quickly.
  • Sunday snow: Light snow could make roads slippery, especially in the afternoon and evening.
  • Wind chill: Gusty winds on Monday will make the air feel colder, so don’t let the daytime temps fool you.

How to Stay Safe:

  • Dress in layers: Hats, gloves, scarves—everything you’ve got. Cover exposed skin to protect against frostbite.
  • Limit time outside: The cold is no joke, so avoid being outdoors for too long, especially at night.
  • Drive carefully: Roads could be icy or snow-covered, so take it slow and give yourself extra time to get where you’re going.

Stay warm and safe, Vermont! Enjoy the fresh snow, but don’t forget to bundle up—it’s going to be a cold start to February. ❄️🌬️
