After spitting rain for the last few hours, it is trying to switch back over to snow as it picks up. I imagine it is all snow a bit higher up in elevation
I had my dog into the vet for her booster shots a couple of weeks ago and the vet was saying they had already been out in this area for a week or two at that point. I remember when I first lived in central Vermont I took the dogs into the woods and long grassed fields twice a day for 7 years and never once pulled a tick off either of them. Now we worry about them with snow still around.
I just checked and we have 7.5 inches, so we have gotten 7 inches in past 3 hours. Biggest storm so far this season! Now past 75 inches, big big winter incoming!
