Anybody care to guess whether the roads will be in bad shape I-91 north of the split (with 89)?

Mixed showers have been brief and light so far but the fun is pivoting into SVT right now--expecting some bursts of mixed showers to snow squalls to liven things up. I'm sure DOT road crews have been able stay ahead of shower activity this morning but heavier showers/squalls this afternoon could be overwhelming in many spots. We'll see.

Winn, what's the time frame of the heavy squalls? Late afternoon/early evening? Or late into the night?

They're moving in across SVT right now and will be pivoting north and eastward the rest of this afternoon/evening. Even though this 2nd round isn't grabbing headlines, these showers/squalls may have some kick.

My wife travels N-91 to S-89 everyday and today was no different. We got some freezing rain/sleet etc over night and had a glaze on everything, but the roads were treated early and often and she said the roads were just wet, nothing major.

Snow is good, i don't think vt does remove snow as good as they use to on I89

Does VT brine their Interstates or do they stick with plow-and-sand? NH DOT still tries to brine parts of theirs but that requires a lot of lead time. It was likely appropriate for last night's/this mornings showers--we'll see how it holds up today.

Roads are fine. Just watch for black ice after sundown.
