What happened
The episode as NWS BTV wrote it up.
A storm system moved across eastern New York Tuesday morning, March 28th and into northern Vermont Tuesday afternoon, March 28th. This system resulted in strong east and southeast winds primarily along the west slopes of the Green Mountains. Saturated ground conditions combined with the winds resulting in downed trees. In particular, across Chittenden county, the wind gusted to 70 mph (61 knots) in Jericho where many tree limbs were blown down. About 100 trees were blown down in Hinesburg with roads blocked and some structural damage caused by trees blown down on houses. House damage was also reported in Williston.
