Winter Weather Advisory | Vermont Weather 6 PM

Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Vermont Weather Podcast for Wednesday, February 25th. That little dusting overnight? Just a warmup act. The real show hits tonight.. And it's bringing teeth. Right now, central Vermont's the warm kid in class at 38 degrees. Partly sunny, almost pleasant. Enjoy that while it lasts, because snow showers roll in after 6 P.M. Less than an inch, but gusts hitting 21 miles an hour will make it feel like January forgot to leave. Drive south on Route 7 and things get more serious. Bennington County has a Winter Weather Advisory running until 7 A.M. Thursday. Snow kicks in around 8 P.M. and drops 1 to 3 inches by morning. Lows tonight sink to 15 degrees. That's slick roads and frozen windshields territory. Up in the Northeast Kingdom, you're sitting at 33 degrees under stubborn clouds. Snow showers arrive after 7 P.M. Under an inch expected, but lows drop to 16 degrees. The kind of night where your wood stove earns its keep. Tomorrow calms down. Partly to mostly sunny skies with highs between 25 and 31 degrees. A breather. Now the week ahead tells a wild story. Friday brings sunshine and mid 30s. Saturday is the gem.. Temperatures surging into the 40s. Central Vermont could flirt with 45 degrees. That's maple sugaring weather, folks. Sap will be thinking about running. But Sunday? Arctic air slams the door shut. Highs barely crack the low 20s. Overnight lows plunge below zero. Monday stays locked in that deep freeze. Quick bit of history. On this day in 1969, Burlington got buried under 24 inches in a two day nor'easter. Tonight won't come close, but those evening squalls still deserve your respect. Sunrise hit 6:38 this morning. Sunset at 5:36. We're gaining over 3 minutes of daylight every day now. Spring is sneaking closer. Keep those phones charged and your scrapers handy tonight. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
