BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Another late winter storm is hitting our region and could cause power outages and difficult travel.
The storm will start with a messy mix Wednesday afternoon and change to heavy, wet snow overnight, bringing several inches in the valleys, but as much as a foot or more of snow in the mountains.
Strong winds will also be a concern late Wednesday into Thursday, especially along the western-facing slopes of the Green Mountain, particularly the western half of Rutland County where wind gusts could approach 60 mph.
The storm is expected to bring power outages and dangerous driving conditions across the region. Green Mountain Power says it has more than doubled its field force with external crews to respond as needed. “We are prepared. Crews are ready to respond as quickly and as safely as possible for our customers and the big message to the customers is to stay alert to the changing conditions and be safe,” said GMP’s Kristin Kelly.
