New Hampshire and Vermont routing advice needed.

I have driven that route many times, in my car though. I'm not sure I would choose that route in a truck in poor weather however. More turns, ups and downs than I can count.

 

..WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 7 AM THIS MORNING
TO 4 AM EST FRIDAY...

* WHAT...Heavy snow expected. Plan on difficult travel
conditions, including during the evening commute. Tree
branches could fall as well. Total snow accumulations of 8 to
11 inches, with localized amounts up to 14 inches, are
expected.

* WHERE...Portions of, central and southern New Hampshire and
interior southwest Maine.

* WHEN...From 7 AM this morning to 4 AM EST Friday.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Winds gusting as high as 40 mph will cause
patchy blowing and drifting snow.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

It's almost 9 and Im working on your route issue.

 

go east until hitting route three south, I-495 west around towards 290 then 90 west.

Remember Interstate routes are plowed first and treated first. And the smaller roads are not.

Hoping you are moving like about now. If you stay around up there today long enough, you are not going to do well getting out, the Noreaster is intensifying and is fixing to put down 14 inches in Mass later today and more than that north and east of you.

 

Be very careful with VT 4 - if I recall areas around Woodstock are truck by permit only. In fact, most of Vermont is this way - the State has like 6 roads that are STAA approved. Lol.

On a normal day I'd use NH 101 to get to VT 9 then ride that right into Troy, NY..... But with the weather... VT 9 could be pretty ugly too.

@Dan.S - suggestions?

 

VT-9 being ugly is my thought as well.

 

You would be smart staying where you are.Right now plows can't get out and as for secondary roads the plows will working on the main interstates first.What will u do if 9 is so bad and there's no safe haven.Be smart and stay put.

 

You’re fine on NH-9.

From NH-9, get on I-91S, to I-90W to NY.


Stay off VT-9, ESPECIALLY in snow. That road accounts for multiple truck accidents every winter. It’s bad enough in summer...

As @KillingTime said, VT-4 east of Rutland is also sketchy.


If you MUST use secondary roads to NY, use VT 103 to Rutland/VT-7.

That’s...narrow and slow, but at least you won’t be as likely to be turned turtle in a ditch....

 

Do not take RT 9 thru VT today.....
