Lewis Creek, the school campus and winter on Route 116
Lewis Creek runs through Hinesburg, and the village sits in its valley, so the hills on either side are where snow and ice linger longest after a storm. Champlain Valley Union High School stands on Route 116 in Hinesburg and draws students from Charlotte, Hinesburg, Shelburne, St. George and Williston, which makes the road busier around school arrival and dismissal times than a village of this size would otherwise be.
A patient with a first-thing appointment in Williston or South Burlington can avoid both the school rush and the slowest icy stretches by leaving a little early, and a child's cleaning is easiest to book in a mid-morning slot when the school day has already started.
