The southernmost counties of Vermont can expect less, with a wintry mix likely for anyone south of U.S. Route 4. Travel should not be greatly affected by an initial string of snow showers Thursday morning, but will become riskier as conditions worsen during the day. “In terms of the toughest times to be on the roads, this storm is all day Thursday into Friday,” said NBC5 Meteorologist Ben Frechette, “but the snow will be heaviest Thursday night into Friday morning.”Snow is forecast to slowly, but surely, move out of the region that morning and make way for another round of subzero temperatures.
