THE VERMONT WEATHER BOOK by David Ludlum (Vermont Historical Society, 1996) lists the following Historic Weather Events for March 12:

March 12, 1888
March Blizzard of '88, Vermont’s greatest snowstorm: began about noon on the 11th, and continued for about 48 hours. In northeast, 18" at Newport; in the northwest, 23" at Burlington; in the southeast, 38" at Vernon; in the southwest, 48" at Bennington; gales from north and northeast on 12th and early 13th; lowest temperature, 4°, in southwest at Manchester; warmest in northeast at Newport, 19° on 12-13th.

NOTE: Ludlum's 23" at Burlington derives from historical records that go back further than the official National Weather Service snow records, which began in 1906.
