Vermont's state offices took a day off on Monday. Why? Ice had turned roads into slippery slides. Workers swapped their offices for home, but not everyone got a break. Police, road crews, and those looking after the vulnerable were still on the job.

Roads were a mess. Some interstates and state roads were extra dangerous. Crews were out there, but they warned drivers to be super careful. Ice and wind weren't just a nuisance. They could also knock out power.
