    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.

    That wind chill is a killer. Below zero is good ...tighten things up in the woods.
