Vermont’s Winter Weekend: Burlington Faces Snow-Rain Combo—Here’s What You Need to Know!

Hey Burlington, winter is coming in strong this weekend! February’s arrival brings a mix of snow and freezing rain that could make things a bit slippery out there. So, grab your warmest coat, keep your ice scraper handy, and get ready for a wintery weekend.

Saturday, February 1:

  • Morning: Wake up to freezing temperatures around -1°F (-19°C). It’s the kind of cold that hits you the second you step outside, so layer up!
  • Afternoon: A mix of clouds and sun will try to help, but highs will only hit 12°F (-11°C). Don’t expect much relief from the chill.
  • Evening: The cold sticks around as temperatures drop back to -1°F (-19°C) overnight, but no snow or rain yet — just cold, quiet air.

Sunday, February 2:

  • Morning: Things warm up slightly to around 20°F (-6°C), but don’t get too comfortable.
  • Afternoon: Snow moves in, and we could see 1 to 2 inches by evening. Highs will be near 24°F (-5°C).
  • Evening: Here’s where it gets tricky — the snow will mix with freezing rain, making roads and sidewalks icy and dangerous. Temps will hover near 20°F (-6°C).

What This Means for You:

  • Slippery roads and sidewalks: Snow will coat everything, and the freezing rain could create a layer of ice on top. If you’re driving, take it slow, and watch your step if you’re walking.
  • Reduced visibility: Snowfall in the afternoon may reduce visibility, especially if you’re on the road.
  • Cold, cold, cold: Even when it’s “warmer” on Sunday, it’s still going to be freezing. Make sure you’ve got your warm gear ready.

What You Should Do:

  • Drive with caution: If you need to go out, give yourself extra time, drive slowly, and leave plenty of space between cars.
  • Bundle up: Frostbite is no joke when it’s this cold. Hats, gloves, scarves — the whole winter gear lineup is necessary.
  • Stay informed: Keep an eye on weather updates in case conditions get worse.

This weekend’s mix of snow and ice is a typical Vermont winter surprise, but with a little preparation, you’ll be just fine. Stay safe, Burlington, and enjoy the snowy views! 🌨️
