9 but the wind is terrible. your way up there.. My sister lives up there she is in waterville a bit west of you. she works at Stowe. I was up there visiting in the fall when the leaves were changing and there are a ton of maples up there...wow she hates when ever they give the temps because it is always burlington, and she says it usually about 10 + degrees colder in the winter by her.

So who's sugarhouse did Mr. Rowe visit?? Hopefully a wood fired one from NH as that is where the best maple syrup on earth comes from If he wanted to get dirty, he should have come by here, I'm still cleaning up
