Snowing very hard here (West side of Vermont, just south of halfway up); but hasn't been for very long. Schools are cancelled, but Rutland City, which always tries to out-macho the surrounding towns, waited until the last moment, causing great confusion among the teachers living outside the city, which group includes my wife.

Weather says the storm track, which was supposed to pass us to the south, has turned more northerly than previously expected, and predicted amounts here run the gamut from 8 inches to 2.5 feet.

I'm supposed to moderate the Town Meeting tonight. I'm not sure they can postpone it, since the date's set by statute. It's no problem for me, it's a half mile from my house, and I can x-c ski there if it comes to that. But it may be lonesome.
