Skiers in Vermont are all a-twitter about today's snowstorm. It's been snowing heavily, starting in southern Vermont and working its way up to northern Vermont.

Here in the Champlain Valley, I was disappointed not to wake up to the sound of a snowplow, but by 10 a.m. the roads were getting white and the snow had been coming down hard. (Here's a shot of snow falling against my car at 10:30. The snowbank remains from past storms.)

Magic Mountain, Mount Snow and Stratton ski resorts already report a few inches of snow. At this time, the <link http: www.erh.noaa.gov btv html stormtotalsnow stormtotalsnow.shtml external-link-new-window snow>National Weather Service is calling for southern Vermont to get the most snow in the state. The northern Green Mountains may see 8 inches of new snow or so, while the southern Green Mountains may see on the order of 13 inches. We'll see how it shakes out.

Whether it's 8 or 13, it will make for some great skiing. We've enjoyed enough of a sunny break this week (it was nice) but now let's get back to our regularly scheduled snowy winter.

Now, where to ski tomorrow. Hmmmm...

Sunday temperatures are sounding very chilly. For this reason, this morning I checked ski area snow reports to see where there might be some new snow to play in today. Some lake-effect snow had been…
