Generally in New England, the past few weeks or so have seen more precip. We're still significantly behind yearly averages for 2012 so far. I can't speak specifically as to Vermont, especially the northern reaches. It might help you to check out the weather pages of Burlington area TV stations.

Heard something on the news that we caught up and passed the yearly average for rainfall last week...but it all showed up within a couple weeks. Snow pack was very low this year (lowest I've ever seen), so not sure how that impacts the overall water/spring situation.

It could rain constantly or be dry as a bone for the next 2 months. I suggest posting this question the week or so before your trip. It would give you a better idea of what to expect.
