Storm of a Life time

Would you believe over 40 inches in 24 hours? The Governor stated this morning that this apparently is the largest snowfall in one 24 hour period in Vermont's history.

Lots of calls today from President Week's vacationers asking if the roads are passable. YES they are and with another 24 hours of work they will be excellent. The only suggestion is be careful on city streets as cars coming out of parking lots can not see around the snowbanks and may surprise you as you drive by.
Stowe Mountain Resort has issue an avalanche warning for the back country which is the first time I have ever seen that. The last time I can recall a storm larger than this is the winter of 1968-69 and again in 1969-70 BUT those storms were over 3-5 days. This all came down from 4AM Wednesday until 1AM today. The walkway at my office in the village is over my waist and I am 6 foot tall.
Skiing, riding, cross country skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling will be the best in years over the next few weeks AND GUESS WHAT, the long range forecast says we are going to have another Northeaster coming on Friday next week, the 23rd.
