Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Tuesday, February 11, 2025. We're starting off the day with a look at the weather, and it seems Punxsutawney Phil's prediction of six more weeks of winter is coming true. According to the National Weather Service's Burlington office, snow showers are expected this afternoon, potentially leading to brief but strong bursts of snow and wind that could reduce visibility and make travel conditions tricky. The heaviest snows are expected between 1 and 5 p.m., with winds gusting up to 35 mph.
Looking ahead, a pair of storms are forecasted to impact the Tri-Lakes area over the coming days. The first storm is slated to begin early Thursday morning and last through midday, with a second, potentially stronger storm likely to impact the region over the weekend. Colder air is expected to return to the region in its wake to kick off next week.
In other news, there's plenty to do in Burlington this week. If you're looking for something to do tonight, there are several events happening around town. The Main Street Landing Performing Arts Center is hosting a performance at 7:30 p.m., and the Fleming Museum of Art at the University of Vermont has an ongoing exhibit that runs through May 24. The Vermont History Museum also has an exhibit that runs through May 17.
If you're planning ahead for the weekend, the Hotel Vermont Ice Bar is one of Burlington's premier winter events, happening in March. And if you're looking even further ahead, the Festival of Fools in downtown Burlington takes place every August on the Church Street Marketplace, and Waking Windows, a three-day music, art, comedy, food, and drink festival, is happening in Winooski in early May.
In local government news, the Planning Commission Meeting is happening today at the Burlington City Hall, and the Church Street Marketplace Cart Vendor Committee is meeting tomorrow. You can stay up to date with your community by visiting the official Burlington website and managing your notification subscriptions.
Finally, if you're looking for something to do with the family, the South Burlington Public Library & City Hall has a variety of events happening this week, including a Thursday afternoon event that runs from 2 to 5 p.m. through February 27.
