Vermont Hit By Record November Snowstorm
Vermont faced one of its heaviest early winter snows on record with over a foot in parts, causing travel disruptions and school bus delays while ski areas opened amid slick roads. Montpelier logged 20 inches, Burlington nine inches, and towns like Bennington Newport White River Junction and Bellows Falls reported 14 to 18 inches as a nor’easter blanketed the state. Deer hunting numbers were down this season, with 5,845 bucks taken compared to 7,256 last year, blamed on a smaller herd and Thanksgiving snowfall. The statewide total for November neared 11.9 inches, well above last year.
