On March 8th, a mild and very moist surface low that originated in the Gulf of Mexico moved across New England on the 8th. One to two inches of rain fell across the upper reaches of the Passumpsic River Valley in Vermont, as well as snow melt caused by temperatures in the 40s, which attributed to large run-off into area brooks, streams and rivers.

The episode as NWS BTV wrote it up.
On March 8th, a mild and very moist surface low that originated in the Gulf of Mexico moved across New England on the 8th. One to two inches of rain fell across the upper reaches of the Passumpsic River Valley in Vermont, as well as snow melt caused by temperatures in the 40s, which attributed to large run-off into area brooks, streams and rivers. This resulted in scattered ice jams across Vermont, which included a localized flash flood in East Burke (Caledonia county).
An ice jam formed along the Dish Mill Brook in East Burke during the evening of the 8th that resulted in flooding of several homes and businesses along Belden Hill road and Route 114 until early morning of the 9th.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Burlington, VT wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Mar 8, 6:33 PM EST, 2 hours 27 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON VT
633 PM EST SAT MAR 8 2008
.SYNOPSIS...
A STRONG AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK ALONG A QUASI-STATIONARY
FRONT FROM CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA NORTHEASTWARD INTO CENTRAL
VERMONT BY MIDNIGHT TONIGHT...AND THEN INTO THE CANADIAN MARI TIMES
BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING MODERATE TO HEAVY
SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN ACROSS MUCH OF VERMONT WEST OF THE GREEN
MOUNTAINS THROUGH MIDNIGHT TONIGHT...WITH MAINLY SNOW AND SLEET
ACROSS THE NORTHERN ADIRONDACKS AND ST. LAWRENCE VALLEY OF NEW
YORK. DRIER AND COLDER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH MID WEEK
FOLLOWED BY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES THURSDAY AND FRIDAY OF NEXT
WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
AS OF 218 PM EST SATURDAY...AT 19Z...A SFC LOW WAS DEEPENING
RAPIDLY ACROSS W-CENTRAL PA /991MB/...IN ASSOCIATION WITH A STRONG MID-
LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH ACQUIRING A NEGATIVE TILT 500MB TROUGH
MOVING NEWD THROUGH THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS. IR IMAGERY INDICATES
RAPIDLY COOLING CLOUD TOPS ACROSS ERN NY/WRN NEW ENGLAND
ASSOCIATED WITH VERY STRONG ASCENT AND EMBEDDED CONVECTIVE
ELEMENTS. WE COULD SEE A FEW LIGHTNING STRIKES ACROSS THE NORTH
COUNTRY ASSOCIATED WITH ELEVATED CONVECTION AND 70KT 700MB SLY JET
THROUGH THIS EVENING...AS NLDN HAS INDICATED JUST TO OUR SOUTH AND
WEST DURING THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS.
MEANWHILE...SHALLOW SUB-FREEZING AIR HAS FILTERED DOWN
WEST OF THE GREEN MTNS AND ACROSS MOST OF NRN NY...AND IS SETTING
THE STAGE FOR MAJOR ICING AND SLEET ACROSS WRN VT AND NRN NY
DURING THE NEXT 6-12 HRS. THE HEAVIEST MIXED PCPN WILL LIKELY
OCCUR THIS AFTN AND EVENING AND WILL RESULT IN VERY DIFFICULT
TRAVEL CONDITIONS WEST OF THE GREEN MTNS AND ACROSS NRN NY. TO THE
EAST OF THE GREEN MTNS...PBL REMAINS SLIGHTLY ABOVE FREEZING AND
WILL RESULT IN LESS SEVERE WINTRY CONDITIONS OVERALL THROUGH
TONIGHT. AS THE SFC LOW TRACKS THROUGH VT BY 06Z...THERMODYNAMIC
PROFILES WILL BECOME MORE CONDUCIVE FOR SNOW AND ALLOW THE PCPN TO
END AS SNOW ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION BETWEEN 06-12Z SUNDAY. A
QUICK 1-3 INCHES...WITH ISOLD 4 INCH AMOUNTS IN THE HIR TRRN WILL
BE POSSIBLE. HOWEVER...WE BELIEVE THE SLEET/ZR THIS AFTERNOON AND
THIS EVENING WILL BE THE MORE SIGNIFICANT HAZARD OVERALL.
LASTLY...GFS/NAM MODEL FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE POTENTIAL FOR
STRONG WIND GUSTS OF 40-45KTS ACROSS OUR SRN FORECAST AREA AFTER
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AND INTO THE MID-MORNING HRS SUNDAY. THUS...WILL
ADD A WIND ADVISORY IN THESE AREAS 06-16Z FOR SRN COUNTIES IN VT
AND ALSO FOR ESSEX COUNTY NY.
FOR OUR WINTER HEADLINES...MAGNITUDE OF THE PCPN NECESSITATES
UPGRADE TO A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR THE CHAMPLAIN
VALLEY...RUTLAND CO VT AND ESSEX CO NY. WILL LEAVE THE WINTER WX
ADVISORY IN PLACE ACROSS CENTRAL/NERN VT DUE TO WARMER
TEMPERATURES AND MAINLY RAIN/IP NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. ALSO...STATUS QUO
ON WINTER STORM WARNING FOR THE REMAINDER OF NRN NY WITH GREATER
EMPHASIS ON MIXED PRECIPITATION RATHER THAN SNOW...CONSISTENT WITH
SPOTTER REPORTS WE HAVE BEEN RECEIVING.
