I know this is not the season, especially on such a cold day as today, but does Vermont have the same problems with ozone and air quality in the summer as Montreal (or the Windsor-Quebec City corridor)? Do you ever have air quality warning days in Burlington?

Never heard of it here, but you can research the NOAA and EPA sites for air quality info and data for all locations and reporting stations within the USA.

Thanks, flu. Sorry to ask out of season, but there are a lot of ozone alerts in Montreal. We have asthma in our family and it is one of our concerns for relocating.

As for winter, Montreal had 31,3 cm of snow and spent 20 million Canadian dollars in clean up, which now means a few million more in US. I'm not on the island of Montreal, so we had even more snow here. I hope you are all fine in Vermont.

Snowfall amounts varied here. Burlington only got a few inches and Mt Mansfield to the east now has 36 inches. Where I am at we as of this morning have a foot of new snow total, but once you clean out the driveway and the roads are plowed it's a non issue. Actually, it looks very nice right now and come the weekend I plan to get out on the snowshoes. Glad we did not get a slushy freezing rain mix.

We had 2 days of not great air quality last summer, but nothing for which we had to stay indoors (only noted on the news for the elderly). I'm from Burlington, VT & in general, the air is pretty clean, especially compared to northern VA/DC area.
