BURLINGTON, Vt. -
Thursday's snow storm brought some people to downtown Burlington.
"It's just a beautiful day to walk around. I love the snow," Michael Tonn said while getting a coffee.
The storm drove others away.
"It's been a little slower than usual," Mike Frank said while manning the Bluebird Tavern on Church Street.
Tonn took a quick walk with his dog to get a mocha at Bluebird Tavern.
Others had the same idea but not enough for the coffee shop to stay open.
"We're shutting down early today actually because business has been not usual," Frank said.
The stuff that kept customers away had plow truck drivers working all day.
"We'll be at it all night then we gotta haul snow away tomorrow," Adam Driscoll said while plowing snow from a parking lot.
Church Street Marketplace employees still had to pick up trash and also cleared Church Street for shoppers.
"We'll be out hear til it's all gone," a Marketplace employee said.
While some people work others are ready to play.
"We were supposed to ski," Tourist Laura Candoff said.
"But the weather's bad," Jack Candoff said.
The storm kept them away from slopes Thursday but drove them downtown.
"This is definitely one of the biggest storms," Jack Candoff said.
But some people on Church Street were only out as long as it took for a snap shot of the snowy storm.
"It's so pretty. We came for the snow we knew there was a blizzard coming," Madison Candoff said.
