Hi All,
When I came home after the 11 a.m. Mass today, I couldn't believe how much it had snowed while I was in Church. I didn't test it, but Main Hill looked like the snow had turned to ice. There were two tractor trailer trucks at the foot of the hill and I met the State Truck coming up the hill as I was going down. Must have been quite the snow squall between 11a.m. and noon.
Here are a few of the Burlington Free Press Headlines:
Hazardous road conditions throughout Vermont
VTrans reports that Addison , Caledonia , Chittenden , Essex , Franklin , Grand Isle , Lamoille , Orange , Orleans and Washington are experiencing difficult driving conditions because the roadway is mostly covered with mixed snow ice or slush and because the road is slippery in places.
Snow showers and squalls are expected throughout the day. Treated roadways will become slippery as these hit and miss snow events occur. Use extreme caution.
