On Valentine’s Day, 2007
Vermont was hit with one of the 10 biggest snowfall’s on record. Up to 36 inches fell in various parts of the
state, shutting down roads, schools, offices and creating difficult situations
for the agricultural community as barns collapsed
and milk production was halted.
VPR covered the storm as it unfolded and in the days that followed as cleanup crews plowed roads and utilities worked to restore power.
