Based on the weather forecast for Sunday, December 10, and Monday, December 11, state courts in Windham, Bennington, Rutland and Windsor Counties will open at 8 a.m. on Monday. There will be a delayed opening until 12:30 p.m. in all other counties. Weather conditions will be re-evaluated Monday morning and any other changes will be posted on the website by 10 a.m. Monday.
