Lot of places in downtown montpelier, including state offices and the high school, have locked down. Reportedly there was a robocall threat made, and it was all a hoax, hoping that is true and no one was injured or shot.

I paid $375 per cord when I bought two cords earlier this year. Last year it was $275 a cord. I bought already seasoned wood, you can probably get green wood for a little cheaper

It's full on stick season right now, most of the foliage is long gone. Hiking is still pretty in it's own way, just no color. Beers and other tourist spots can still be fun, just don't expect any foliage, and some businesses will have started to close or change their hours.
