Here are the top three stories today in Burlington: Two people are facing drug and weapon charges following their arrest on Friday morning. Police raided homes in the Ledgewood Circle neighborhood and on Farrell Street in South Burlington on Friday and found more than a kilogram of methamphetamine, several ounces of fentanyl and cocaine, other narcotics, two firearms, and more than $10,000. Quenton Dodson, 33, of Detroit, and Michoni Campbell, 23, of Burlington will face various charges including drug sales and prohibited possession of a firearm. (WCAX) After Monday's massive snowstorms, South Burlington snowplow cleared Burlington's recreational paths. The city declared a parking ban until 7 a.m. on Tuesday morning so that they can clear 95 miles of roads and 130 miles of sidewalks. Burlington and the state of Vermont received an estimated 6 to 7 inches of snow on Monday.
