The coastal storm that moved through the northeast has left up to 14 inches of snow in <link internal-link internal link in current>southern Vermont. As you move north, the snow totals diminish. For example, 7 inches at Pico and Killington, 3 inches at Smugglers' Notch, and none at Burke Mountain.

Magic Mountain says on its snow report: "It will be technical skiing as a heavy, moisture-laden snow fell yesterday."
