It's Friday now, but Wednesday brought a nasty blizzard to Vermont. Click the link below for more photos of our family's and friends' homes.

It was a strong storm in the amount of snowfall, but the wind was not as fierce as it might have been.

Our town of Colchester road crews did an outstanding job in moving the snow and keeping the roads open. We have a selectman living on our street, but I'm thinking that did not make any difference . The plowmen did a fantastic job, as did my driveway plower, Kevin, who came twice during the storm to keep us open.

The locations that received the most snow in Wednesday's storm, according to the National Weather Service:

Cambridge: 36 inches
Jericho Center: 31.2
Monkton: 31
Eden: 30.4
Richford: 30
Killington: 30
Montpelier: 30
Waterbury: 30
Hinesburg: 29
Stowe: 29

I'm sure the global warming folks will point out that 7 of the top 10 snowfalls have occured in the past 40 years. But what of the "we don't get storms like we used to" folklorists? Are their memories failing or is their memory in he range of 40 years?
