Emergency resources will be strained as an expected tens of thousands of people travel to Vermont for the eclipse. The snowstorm this week means mountaintops will be covered in deep snow, even if the valleys are sunny and warm.
The town of Underhill will close two roads leading to Mount Mansfield on April 8, when emergency resources will be strained. Still, search and rescue teams anticipate tens of thousands of people will head into the backcountry to see the eclipse.
“The odds are pretty good, just based on the numbers, that someone’s going to need some assistance,” he said., even if the valleys are sunny and warm. The timing of the eclipse, in the late afternoon, means temperatures will plummet soon after. And the “They'll have patrol up there, coordinating with people, trying to keep them safe,” Rogers said. “It's kind of an all hands on deck effort from every corner of the state.”
If you’re still figuring out where to watch the eclipse on Monday, Rogers said a low elevation trail system, where you might walk your dog for 15 minutes without a pack, should be fine.
