"Tuesday Evening Winter Weather Advisory: Expect Slippery Travel Conditions"

A snowstorm accompanied by sleet and rain is expected to hit Vermont on Tuesday evening, causing hazardous travel conditions overnight and into Wednesday morning. Vermonters east of the Green Mountains can expect 2 to 5 inches of snow, transitioning to sleet and rain, while the Champlain Valley will receive around 1 inch of snow before it changes to rain. The storm will bring gusty winds and a wintry mix, making travel more dangerous in some areas. Wednesday afternoon is expected to be the safest time for holiday travel as the ice melts. Vermont Emergency Management advises monitoring the weather and adjusting travel plans accordingly.
