THE VERMONT WEATHER BOOK by David Ludlum (Vermont Historical Society, 1996) lists the following Historic Weather Events for March 6:

March 6, 1920
“Worst storm since the March blizzard of 1888 is passing into history,” Free Press; at Burlington, 14" of new snow*, making 24" depth, both March records; highways blocked; Barre isolated; no daily mail at Brandon — first time in history.

*We leave the minor discrepancy between 14" and 13.5" of snow at Burlington to the superior research skills of weather historians.

March 6, 1959
Straightline wind rush from Underhill Center to Cambridge; covered area 10 miles long, 2 miles wide; barns unroofed; TV antennas downed.
