Brief color on March 31.


Between a dark night and a very gray morning, there was a brief moment of spectacular color over the Green Mountains on the morning of Friday, March 31, 2017.

Colorful morning, March 16, 2017


The snowstorm that ended March 15 left an uneven white blanket across the Whiting area. While the snow depth in some places was just a couple of inches, thigh-high drifts were found elsewhere. The official snowfall total for Burlington was 30 inches, making the storm the second largest snow-drop in state history (the top spot is held by a Jan. 2-3, 2010, storm that deposited 33.1 inches of snow) and the largest ever in the month of March. Perhaps apologizing for the late-season storm, Ma Nature provided the spectacular sunrise above on the morning of March 16.
