Be careful, Vermont: Slippery roads are coming your way Thursday, Friday

Icy roads are not over just yet for Vermont and New York.

Parts of each state can expect freezing rain starting 4 p.m. Thursday until 7 a.m. Friday, according to a winter weather advisory issued by the National Weather Service early Thursday morning.

Total ice accumulations are expected to reach one-tenth of an inch. Vermonters living east of the Green Mountains will be impacted.

Cities to be affected in Vermont include Bradford, Montpelier, St. Johnsbury, Stowe and White River Junction.

Factor in slippery roads and hazardous conditions for your commute Thursday evening and Friday morning. The National Weather Service urged people to slow down and factor in extra time for your commute.

Safety in icy conditions

Remember some important driving tips from the National Weather Service so you can avoid accidents on your commute. These include:

  • Making sure your car is ready for the road (tires, wipers, coolant, etc. are all in good shape)
  • Clearing off your car (including headlights, back-up cameras)
  • Keeping a winter supply kit (blankets, first-aid kit, non-perishable food, etc.)
  • Checking the forecast ahead of your commute
  • Staying alert while on the road 
  • Driving slower than you typically would 
  • Keeping a safe distance from other cars 
  • Pulling off the road in the event of an accident and distinguishing yourself (using flashlights, flares, hazard lights, etc.) 

People share icy experiences 

Slippery conditions in Vermont made for quite the conversation on Twitter — at least in Burlington.

Been stuck on batter street for over an hour. Guessing they are trying to salt the hill by BHS #stuck #notmoving #btv

We have VERY ICEY roads folks! Please go easy on your way home this afternoon and evening. Like the old joke says, ' let's not meet by accident."

— Shelburne VT Police (@Shelburne_PD_VT) February 6, 2019

Roads and sidewalks SEEM to be improving naturally in #BTV but I imagine it’s altitude dependent.

— That Guy (@btvjim) February 7, 2019

This sums it up exactly. 20 years and I've never seen the roads look like this. People in the south end are stopping their cars and turning around. bailing on wherever they were attempting to go. #btv #ice https://t.co/xnZ1XVKnfJ

Sidewalk plows aren't so helpful if you don't make sure they're actually following the sidewalk. And now it's all frozen solid. That was… fun… to traverse in my chair. 😑 #btv pic.twitter.com/Wqon2Ve60Q
