  1. My favorite MLK day storm was 1994. I was in S Royalton VT at the time. We got 17 inches in short order. Sadly during the heaviest part of the storm I walked across the village green and my keys fell out in the process. It was snowing so hard that when I noticed about 10 minutes later that I could not even find my prints in the snow. A friend found the keys in mid-May when the last of the snow piles melted.
  2. Just enough freezing drizzle to put a nasty glaze on my driveway. I had two spend two hours going to town dump twice to fill back of car with the sand/salt mix they leave for residents to use. Driveway now looks like it is a dirt road. It really is a huge financial blessing that it is available as the plow guys we used in the past would charge $50 per storm to sand the drive for us.
  3. Sometimes it is as simple as putting the wrong end of the yard stick down to the base so that instead of reading 13" it reads 23".
  4. Congrats to the SNE contingent! Have there been any reports of Thunder Snow today? I haven't scrolled through all the pages.

  6. If you are making me do the leg work, it probably won't happen as the coffee has yet to kick in and the TV is calling me.
  7. 6Z GFS is acceptable. Well for me at least. Where do I send the request to have this locked in? Does it go to Coastal or do I have to send it to PF as I am in the NNE posting section? Clown:
  8. "Taco, get in the house. I promised you if you left the door open ...." I loved that bit at the end!
  9. A bit of everything frozen yesterday but mostly freezing rain. We then got 1.1 inches of snow overnight.
  10. Up to 28. We have had Freezing rain to sleet to snow to sleet.
  11. At least you got it correct that there would be a storm off the coast and parts of Maine will end up with some decent snow from this.
  12. It should be fine. It is sunny here in Burlington. On drive up today the highway was dry by Barre. I doubt Stowe saw anything this morning.
  13. We must have had some freezing drizzle to start because the car was encased with ice with about .2 of snow on top of it. Fortunately nothing was slippery but had to chisel the windows clean.
  14. 28 and light snow. Eyeballing a trace to a tenth. Enough to cover the yellow snow but not the dog poo.
  15. Hey there, I have an Advisory for the morning. Here's hoping no ice for the AM BTV put out maps snow Ice
  16. I got a pair of Yukon Charlies for Christmas about 20- 25 years ago. They have been fantastic but now look to be on their last legs. We bought some basic ones at Job Lot a few years ago and they have done the trick. Two years ago we picked up a pair of Tubbs and another make as well for $10 each at a local thrift shop. Been happy with each even though one pair was both left foot shoes.
  17. One of the cars wouldn't start this morning. I assume it was not the cold but a light must have been left on after I moved it to clear its spot yesterday. At least that is what I am hoping as it was only 5 today and has never had issues starting at -10.
  18. The 10.3 was me. The odd thing was in an earlier statement (7:40 on Sunday) there was a report of 9.0 saying 4 miles NW of Norwich and the GPS location given was across the street from me but said it was measured a my elevation, which I usually include to explain why the results are higher than in town. I doubt it was that neighbor as there house sits way higher than 1240' and is up a mile long driveway. I wonder if it was just a typo but I hadn't submitted my reading until after the statement went out.
  19. Sorry, I was not trying to be overly vague. WRJ is White River Junction. By being in Brattleboro, coming from Mass I presumed you were on I-91. Brattleboro is roughly 10 mile into Vermont on I-91. As you will, no doubt know, that Federal Law requires interstate exits to be renamed for what mile marker they are at. Vermont has responded by putting signs at the bottom of the exit sign saying what mile marker the exits are at. Additionally, every 2 tenths of a mile on the interstates in Vermont, there are green mile markers. By giving you this information I was giving you an idea how far it was. If you looked at my location to the side of the post it would also have been a good hint where to look for WRJ and that there was snow there. And as MREEVES points out I suggested a loop with I-89. My full post was Maps would have been a good hint that the road you were on and I-89 meet at WRJ. I agree however that the use of airport codes and fake ones drives me to do research into where people are talking about frequently. I hope you found some better snow to show your friend. I got over 10 inches.
