Fresh snow drapes the Birch Ridge Inn

Has the January thaw come and gone at Killington?

During the week between January 7 and January 14th, Killington did see some warm temperatures. From January 11th till the 14th, we lost about 8 inches of snow accumulation on the ground around the inn. The loss was mostly due to warm weather, as while there were some showers during the period, there really was not any extended period of r@!n throughout the region.

But yesterday things started to turn around. A couple of inches of snow fell during the early morning hours of January 16th. This was followed up with another inch today, bringing the snow stake at the inn back up over the foot level (13 1/4 inches to be more precise) once again.

Fresh snow covers the Birch Ridge Inn.

With seasonably cold temperatures in the forecast and light snow predicted during the Martin Luther King birthday weekend, it looks like the January thaw is done. We can only hope!

Let it snow!
