Burlington Local Frequency: Spring Weather Ahead, Art Fair This Weekend
Published 2 weeks, 3 days ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for Thursday, April 9th, 2026.
We're starting the day with a weather alert that affects your commute and outdoor plans. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect as freezing rain and gusty winds are expected to arrive this evening and continue into Friday morning. If you're heading out, be prepared for hazardous conditions on the roads. This follows a quick spring snow forecast for Tuesday that could bring three to six inches across the region, with up to a foot possible in the mountains.
On a different note, if you're looking for something fun to do this weekend, the first-ever Vermont Art Book Fair is coming to Burlington. Starting tomorrow evening at five o'clock and running through Saturday at eight in the evening, Karma Bird House on Maple Street will host this free community event. It's the brainchild of Montpelier artist Micah Wood and promises to celebrate the art of book design and publishing right here in our community.
In local safety news, a Burlington man received his sentencing this week for a deadly incident that happened more than three years ago. Von Simmonds was sentenced to at least seventeen and a half years in prison for the death of twenty-three-year-old Abubakar Sharrif. The stabbing occurred inside Piesanos restaurant on Main Street in the early morning hours of December 4th, 2022. Judge John Pacht described the scene as chaotic based on video evidence presented during the trial.
Looking ahead to the warmer months, Burlington Airport is gearing up for exciting developments. The new terminal, part of a sixty-eight million dollar expansion project, is set to open by the end of March, bringing more seating and the capacity to accommodate larger planes. This marks a significant milestone for our transportation hub as we celebrate twenty-six years since the major expansion groundbreaking that happened back in 2000.
For drivers, there's also a heads up about a road closure today. The intersection of White Pines Drive and Bromley Road in Burlington will be closed from seven in the morning until six in the evening for stormwater maintenance work. Detours and signage will be in place.
Finally, if you're interested in community engagement, UVM is hosting an important conversation on immigration in Burlington. It's a great opportunity to connect with neighbors and explore current issues affecting our city.
This has been Burlington Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
