A storm system moved through the Great Lakes region Saturday and Saturday night (January 23) and into eastern Canada Sunday (January 24). Mild weather with melting snow coupled with rain Saturday night and Sunday resulted in many rivers reaching or exceeding their banks during Sunday. In particular, the Mad River flooded fields and streets in and around the Waitsfield VT area with route 100 closed for a short time.
