Low pressure tracked across eastern New England during the nighttime and early morning hours of January 18th-19th. The initial precipitation across Vermont was in the form of rain with air temperatures in the 30s to around 40 degrees. However, after more than a week of temperatures frequently near zero, road sub-surface temperatures were in the teens and 20s. Therefore, as rain fell and dusk approached, wet roads quickly became icy roads and lead to numerous vehicle accidents and closures of state and interstate roads.
Rain changed to a heavy, wet snow across higher elevations and eventually in the northern valleys on the night of January 18th. Snowfall totals were 2 to 6 inches across northern Vermont with some locally higher in higher elevations, which led to scattered power outages.
