Good morning, Burlington.

As a winter storm approaches, outpatient psychiatrist Dr. Frank Clark at Prism Health advises residents to prepare by stocking up and taking breaks from media while staying connected with loved ones (988 is available for immediate support).

Beltway Heating owner Ryan Grimes advises local residents to disconnect hose bibs, drip faucets, and lower their thermostat when power is lost in winter storms — a measure that also protects appliances and food.

He adds that keeping freezer and refrigerator doors closed helps guard against burst pipes and damage.

This winter five Vermont ski resorts offer lift tickets under $100 for skiers.

The list features Burke Mountain Resort in East Burke, Saskadena Six in South Pomfret, Cochran's Ski Area in Richmond, Pico Mountain Ski Resort in Killington, and Middlebury Snowbowl in Hancock.

Stowe Mountain Resort remained open over the weekend despite subzero temperatures, and resort officials urged skiers to layer up, cover skin, use hand warmers, and take breaks indoors.

Visitors adjusted their schedules to avoid an approaching storm — ensuring safe enjoyment of fresh snow.
