An Ice Storm Warning has been issued for portions of Northeast Vermont, with forecasters warning of significant ice accumulation that could lead to dangerous travel conditions and widespread power outages. The storm is expected to begin late this evening and continue through early afternoon tomorrow, with the Monday morning commute likely to be severely impacted.

Residents are also reminded to use generators and fuel-burning equipment safely to prevent carbon monoxide exposure, and to expect slower emergency response times due to icy road conditions.
