A warming trend could bring wet, heavy snow to Vermont late this weekend, and Green Mountain Power is tracking the storm closely to ensure it is prepared to respond quickly to any outages.
“The wet, heavy snow that forecasters are saying might fall on Vermont late Sunday could cause outages,” said Dorothy Schnure, GMP spokesperson. “Our crews are ready to respond and we have additional contractor crews lined up. We’ll continue to monitor the forecasts and bring in more resources as needed.”
Current predictions are for wet, heavy snow to begin falling in southern Vermont Sunday afternoon, spreading north through the night. It is possible that enough snow will build up to cause trees and branches to fall onto power lines, causing outages.
“We will continue to monitor conditions and will keep customers updated through Facebook, Twitter and media announcements,” said Schnure.
