The Thicket passes on news of a very sarcastic proclamation from Montpelier, prompted by a 2008 blizzard that closed down the Legislature in next-door New Hampshire:

Whereas, the fortitude and moral fiber of the Green Mountain Boys endures in the members of the Vermont General Assembly in contrast to the actions of their colleagues on the Connecticut River’s eastern bank, now therefore be itResolved by the Senate and House of Representatives:

I'd hate to find out what Vermont thinks of us weather wimps in Massachusetts.
