Q: How much snow does Burlington get?

Based on NOAA's 1991-2020 normals, the official station at Burlington International Airport averages about 88 inches of snow a season.

Burlington climbs steeply from the Lake Champlain waterfront up to the Hill Section, with older multi-unit houses in the Old North End and South End and quieter single-family streets in the New North End. City crews plow sidewalks, so most of the work at home is driveways, steps, front walks and digging cars out on hilly streets.
