But we sure don't need Lake Champlain to flood again.

I've been hearing mixed reports, but I don't know what to expect...

Any thoughts handmade?

Thanks!

my kids in Vermont haven't called (I'm working in Oregon right now) but I'm hoping all is ok. One son lives in Burlington, my house is in the Northeast Kingdom and I need to call to make sure flashlights are ready... I'm thinking the worst for our area may be some power outages (Washington Electric in my area)

hope you are ok

my son is finishing his last semester at UVM and then will probably be moving back to the house in Danville since there is no work for Philosophy majors:rofl::rofl:
