And God said, let there be snow....
As a special St. Valentine's Day gift from Father God and Mother Nature, Vermont is mostly snowed in today. 12 inches so far and rising. School cancelations today also meant that the Boys & Girls Club was closed as well. I ventured out and took a walk a few minutes ago just to see what I could. Visibility is pretty bad; about a city block in any direction. Downtown is dead, though I noticed two stores open: One, a restaurant run by the local cult. And two, an outdoor clothing and shoe store. I made a couple of calls and discerned that the grocery store and Wal-Mart were open as well. I have no idea about the other side of town near the highway. I'm guessing at least one of the gas stations is trying to stay open, but who knows?
I'm supposed to drive up to Montpelier tomorrow for an AmeriCorps thing, which seems pretty unlikely at this point, for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that my car is completely snowed in, as is the parking lot I'm parked in, as is the side street the lot is on, as are the mountains (I'm assuming here) that I would have to drive through in order to get to the meeting.
The Rutland Herald had a few pics on its website. All but the last one were taken this morning, before the really heavy stuff had begun to fall. So just imagine everything times four or five and you get the picture.
And an early Happy Snow Removal Thursday!
