VT doesn’t plow the non arteries until snow stops. It sucks since you have to get to work or the grocery store and the roads will be a mess at 1pm.

Implying it’s not gonna be as bad as it’s been forecasted? The snow chance / accum has gone down slightly in the last two days

Yeah we are trying to leave earlier now to beat some of it. And yea - plowing is only an assumption but was hoping it wasn’t far off with it being a northern state…
Damn! Trip planned for month and happy for some fresh POW, but just wondering about this drive up. But hearing you two interstates mentioned ! Thanks

Your whole strategy is based on the fact that there will be overnight plowing. That only really happens on 89 or 91.
If your plan is based off plowing of other roads at night, it's a bad plan. Either go earlier, later, or you are just going on a prayer

What’s bad? All 3 options? 89 is coming from the north no? I’m not coming in from above?!

New York State does a better job clearing than Vermont, so I vote option A.

That's a bad strategy. Pretty much only 89 or the major freeways get consistent overnight plowing.

Rt 4 gets good plow during storms in windsor county, including hartford. I can't speak for the last leg of the trip into killington.

Yeah. The Woodstock Quechee exit drops you right onto Rt 4. It’s a straight shot across to Killington. It the major east west route through Vermont which means it’s more likely to be taken care of during a storm.

103 and 100 are rarely cleared as fast as 7. 7 is always a better bet.

I know - not really an option unless super late when snow would already have started - hoping that overnight they do some cleaning and that’s is manageable Saturday - probably be in Vermont area midday-ish.
Any insight on the different options above and which roads tend to be better cleared?!
