Burlington Local Frequency: March Lion Aftermath and Spring Sales
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Burlington Local Frequency for today.
Burlington is waking up under a fresh blanket of late winter snow, and while the roads are mostly clear, crews are still asking drivers to take it slow on side streets and watch for icy patches at intersections and crosswalks. Yesterday’s nor’easter that locals have been calling the March Lion dropped close to two feet of snow in parts of Vermont, and that weather punch is still rippling through town life, with some lingering plow berms and slushy sidewalks making walking boots the footwear of choice today.
One civic ripple you might still be feeling is around Town Meeting season. Across Vermont, heavy snow and earlier storms have disrupted some local meetings and kept turnout lower than usual, a reminder of how closely our democracy here is tied to whether people can literally get out of their driveways to vote and debate local budgets and school issues. Officials are already talking about how to harden those traditions against future extreme weather, from backup power at polling sites to better storm timing and communication.
If you are looking for something a little more fun than shoveling, Church Street is the place to be today. The Mother of All Sales wraps up on the Church Street Marketplace, running from 10 this morning until 8 tonight, with downtown shops offering blowout winter deals as they clear the racks for spring. Expect bargain hunters, sidewalk racks, and that classic Burlington mix of students, families, and day-trippers trying to stretch a dollar while supporting local businesses.
For those craving some indoor activity, Burlington Parks and Rec has high intermediate pickleball this morning at the Robert Miller Community and Recreation Center from 8:30 to 10:30. It is a social, fast-paced way to shake off cabin fever, and a good reminder that these neighborhood rec hubs are a big part of how the city keeps people moving through the long winter.
Looking ahead, keep an eye on the Flynn. The theater is gearing up for spring with major touring productions and special concerts, part of a broader effort to keep Burlington’s downtown vibrant in the evenings as the days get longer and the lakefront starts to thaw.
This has been Burlington Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
