Happy Tuesday, Burlington! Here's everything going on today in town. First, today's weather: Breezy with a few snowflakes. High: 41 Low: 25. Here are the top stories today in Burlington: Rescue crews are issuing reminders to would-be cold-weather hikers after a 74-year-old man was rescued from an icy Vermont trail Sunday night. The South Burlington hiker was walking near the summit of Camels Hump, a 4,085-foot summit that falls on the Chittenden County line. He reportedly felt that he could not continue to travel safely over ice-covered rocks on the south side of the peak. (WPTZ) Alyssa Clark has definitely hit her daily steps on her fitness tracker. And then some. The 28-year-old from Burlington ran 26.2 miles – the full length of a marathon – every day for 95 consecutive days, making great use of her COVID quarantined lockdown while living in Italy during the pandemic. Clark was inspired on her Forest Gump-esque running journey by the stall period in quarantine in March of 2020, needing to put her training as an ultra-marathoner to use.
