OKpowdah Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Lots of pics from KPIT have already been here. But here are a couple of others. One is of Mt. Massemet (the highest place in town-1588'- as viewed from Mt. Sugarloaf). The others are of the Bridge of Flowers and a shot along the Deerfield. Beautiful. I'm not a little homesick for New England right now with the onset of fall and colors starting to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When will you come back? I hope you can still provide us with your analyses and snowfall maps on winter threats! I hope life in Norman is good. Lyndon state by winter.... Westbrook CT by summer.

I hope life in Norman is good. I'll be back home for the second half of December through January 5th. I'll try my best to provide analysis but otherwise I'll probably only have time to read and live vicariously through the pics and obs you guys post. Working in the NWC is awesome. But like I said, of the many parts of the nations I've visited, I can't imagine living anywhere other than New England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisM Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 Pretty sure he's on the southern end of the lakes region, its nice there but the presidential range is quite a ways north from there. Another hour at least on the highway. Oops, I thought we had a poster from Berlin or around there and I thought it was him. Just looked and I was wrong.

But, living here is inspiring, I too can't imagine living anywhere else. the town I live in, almost it's entirety, 43+ square miles for our sub 1K residents, more cows than people the Mt Range that has given me so much, the Northern Greens.

Anyhow my webcam is always on, my weather station is up only when my desktop PC is running. Doing a big house renovation project right now so lots of crap in the view.

mreaves Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I live in Barre Town, VT. It has a population of 7,924 as of the 2010 census and is located in central Vermont about 10 miles from Montpelier. Barre Town almost completely surrounds Barre City, which secceded from it in 1895. Barre City has a population of 9,052 and sits mainly in the valley below the town. My house is at just over 1200' but the hills in town go to just over 1800'. Barre is or has been famous for granite. Some of the largest quarries in the world are located here and the stone attracted a large wave of very artistically talented immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. One of the cemetaries in the area, Hope Cemetary, is a popular tourist attraction because of the amazing carved granite monuments it contains. I don't have access to any of my own photos here at work so I grabbed the ones below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Get inland and up ASAP I like the coast, but if I were to ever have a spot, it would be at 1000' on the e/se side of the Whites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Oops, I thought we had a poster from Berlin or around there and I thought it was him. Just looked and I was wrong. We've had good coverage of the Greens and some from the 'Dacks, but the Whites and the Maine Mts have been essentially unrepresented (except when Eric is hiking.) 1st pic is courtesy of Wiki, and shows the Route 2 entry from the east, just coming to the built-up section of town. My place is 2 miles to the north. The town had 1,407 people in 2010, which is 30/sq.mi. Max elevation is 1,210' on York Hill in the SE part of the twp, lowest is about 300' along the east line where the Sandy River flows out of town. The landscape is about 85% forest, with most of the rest farmland, mainly hayfields and corn. Best view is looking west-to-north from Cape Cod Hill Road (Route 134) just south of the center of town. On a clear day nearly all the western Maine 4,000' peaks are visible; I think Crocker is blocked by the 'Loaf. 2nd pic, taken 2/23/2009, is the nearest (200 yd away) neighbor's seasonal cottage, since replaced by their retirement home. 3rd one is our buried Outback and small Mazda pickup and a bit of the house, wife on porch, son (temporarily here from Japan; I think this storm convinced him to move back) in driveway wondering where to start.

MaineJayhawk Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 This is the Little Ossipee River in Limington, Maine. Limington has a population of 3,403, a maximum elevation of 1,198' asl, one stoplight and is 98.3% white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenson Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I live in Corinth, Vermont. It's almost smack in the middle of Orange County in the east-central part of the state. It's 48.5 square miles and as of the 2010 census, a little over 1300 souls reside here (a drop of roughly 100 people from the 2000 census). It's a hilly upland town with much of it lying at 1000' or higher--the exception being in the northeast corner of town where the Waits River cuts a pretty deep valley. The valley floor along the Waits River within the bounds of town is down around 650' or so and the highest point is in the northwestern part of town at just a little shy of 2300'. While not mountainous in the true sense of the word, the western part of Corinth lies very close to a fairly major watershed divide. The west side of the highlands here is within the Winooski-Lake Champlain-St. Lawrence river water shed whereas the eastern side is within the Connecticut River drainage. Only a minor 700 mile difference from where the water from either side of the divide reaches the sea. We live in the southwestern part of town near Corinth Corners. We're in an elevated hollow at 1200' surrounded by ridges at or just below 2k. Anyway, a few shots from around town taken by yours truly: Our blue roof is visible in this one--far right and in the middle, just inside in the woodline: And the view from the fields near our house, looking toward where the above shot was taken: The hills here in town generally provide excellent views eastward into NH: The Presidentials are even visible from a few spots: And, while we can't see it from the house due to a large hill immediately to our east, the top of our driveway gives great views of Moosilauke in western NH: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
