Get ready. Here comes the big one. 8-12 inches supposedly. I hope you have your shovel, your salt, and maybe if you're lucky enough to have one, your snow blower. Good luck.

Random Burlingtonian Quote of the Day 📝

Though "none by searching can find out God, or the Almighty to perfection," yet I am persuaded, that if mankind would dare to exercise their reason as freely on those divine topics as they do in the common concerns of life, they would, in a great measure, rid themselves of their blindness and superstition, gain more exalted ideas of God and their obligations to him and one another, and be proportionally delighted and blessed with the views of his moral government, make better members of society, and acquire many powerful incentives to the practice of morality, which is the last and greatest perfection that human nature is capable of.

—Ethan Allen
