  1. Here is a picture of Rt.9 in VT from east to west Marlboro Searsburg Woodford Meanwhile in Bennington And yes, I know the Searsburg and Woodford shots are probably blanks but the Woodford one at least has what looks like the outline of a structure
  2. Add that to the list of reasons I dislike that place. Lol
  3. When I woke up around 6:00, it looked like there was maybe .5" but it was snowing at a decent pace. Just went out and measured and there is 3.25" on the board.
  4. The tech center is technically a separate school. I believe the outlying towns bus their kids to it.
  5. That’s it. They do accept kids from towns like Chelsea, Washington and Orange. There isn’t any busing though. We drove my kid and picked him up all 4 years. He walked home from Barre Town on the bike path but there really was no safe way to walk home from Spaulding because there is no sidewalk or bike path up Quarry Hill.
  6. When I was in grades 2-7 I went to school in Barre City. There were 5 or 6 neighborhood schools that went up to 5th grade, a middle school for 6th-8th and then the high school. Everybody walked to school or maybe their parents drove them, though that was rare. There were no buses and schools never closed. I’m not trying to sound like old cranky guy, it’s just the way it was. As you mentioned, now kids are trucked from a much wider area, it makes transport that much trickier. 20 years ago or more, Barre City closed the neighborhood schools and built a consolidated K-8 school and now buses kids. They have snow days now. And I understand it.
  7. Speaking of BTV, they’ve upped our max potential. Here is their latest map.
  8. I like it when they do interesting stuff like that.
  9. I remember that too. Unfortunately, I couldn't remember where the newspaper articles were from
  10. Yeah, I think that was some of what drove the rule change. There were also some issues in the Phenn Basin on Camel’s Hump with logging and trails.
  11. There was also one that was over 2500’. The environmental court ordered it torn dow because it violated the State’s rule on building at elevation. Not sure if that actuall got torn down or if it’s still in litigation.
  12. When you are 2 hours from Albany, Hartford and Springfield it just gets pounded. The club does have 4 or 5 groomers and goes out every day when conditions warrant. Because their trail system is so limited by what the National Forest Service allows, they can’t really build trails to relieve some of the traffic.
  13. Lol. One guy did say he was going to wait to hear from you before getting excited. Claimed Channel hyped event for ratings
  14. BTV has issued a map and a winter storm watch.
