Outage risk in Vermont

Vermont's outage risk is driven by frequent ice storms and heavy wet-snow accumulation on its densely wooded rural roads, plus spring flooding and summer thunderstorm downed-tree outages across the Green Mountains; Burlington and South Burlington share Lake Champlain-effect winter weather and a denser urban grid, while Rutland's inland valley location sees sharper temperature swings and more prolonged rural line-repair times after storms.
