I Got 99 Problems, But Snow Ain’t One…
If you've been around Vermont this winter, you've probably noticed the snow's been coming down like it's making up for lost time. It feels like stepping straight back into the good old days—real snow, real often, and none of the hype.
From the Green Mountains down to the Champlain Valley, Vermont's buried deep, leaving skiers, snowboarders, and snowmobilers grinning beneath frosty faces.
Winter Like It Used to Be
Vermont winters have their own rhythm, and this one's hitting all the right notes. Jay Peak has piled up over 330 inches already—at one point even beating out Alta, Utah. Nice to see Vermont holding its own.
February went big, dropping 32 inches in Burlington alone—nearly twice the usual amount. Steady nor'easters turned everyday weekends into perfect powder days.
How This Winter Compares
Here's the quick version:
2011–12 was weak—just 37.7 inches in Burlington. Forgettable.
2010–11 nailed it with 128 inches—the kind of season you talk about.
This year’s looking strong, especially if March keeps up.
Stories from the Snow
Jay Peak's Big Run: Over 330 inches already. Outperforming some big-name western resorts.
Steady Snowstorms: Fewer dry spells, more consistent snow—exactly how the old timers like it.
Why So Much Snow?
Storm patterns, a little luck, or Mother Nature tossing Vermont a bone—whatever it is, it's good. Despite warming winters, it's nice knowing we still get these snowy seasons.
March Isn't Done Yet
March can still surprise us with big storms, so keep those skis waxed and your firewood handy. More snow might just be on the way.
Stay warm, stay cool, and keep your planks waxed.
