I don't keep track of seasonal snowfall totals here. This place sucks for snowfall. It doesn't bother me. Look at Codfish this place is a snowhole.

If the last two nor’easters could have worked out the way they were forecast to...I’d be darn close, if not over 100” here. Those two busts killed what would have been a real killer year.

I don't anything specific about disability housing but the housing market in general in Burlington is extremely tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I basically need to be someplace ground level with convenience for shopping, etc. The two flights of steps in my dad's house are killing me. Burlington is just and Idea. I've got 6 months to decide where to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also want to get in 1-2 years of skiing while I can still walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great ski towns...but don’t know if those would be good for disability situations though??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard less than desirable comments regarding living in Rutland. My brother lives in Montreal, so I'd be close by to visit him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've spent Quite a bit of time attaining the most accurate totals of seasons past. I started here in 2002-2003. But don't doubt how much time I spent on a zillion sites (I'm The Snowman!), and running down to the Town Hall with my connections to get any weather data.

You can say that every winter lol. Oh you can always say that for sure....but we weren’t supposed to miss those two I referred to. And it’s not every winter that you miss two back to back that were very major storms. To me that’s a difference. Being out of the game or missing completely is a lil different on the psyche, than being forecast for 10-16, and 12-18 in back to back storms, and missing out on both as the storms are happening. That’s a lil more sour than it being a cutter, or passing well east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Miser Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Snow is gone as quickly as the hair off of my head. The other day John (Tip) brought up in one of his posts a brief mention on snow melt and the complex science behind it with regard to different soil/ ground conditions. I would like to get into a deeper discussion on snow melt and the effects that certain soils and ground conditions have on speeding up the melting process. I always seem to lose snow pretty fast depending on different factors. Even after the big March storm where I had 21 inches or so, plus the storm after, it seemed that I lost my snow faster than even some people on the south coast of Mass. i remember 2014/2015 when I broke 100" and Boston had amazing snow it seemed that Scott was retaining his snow in Weymouth better than I was. I have access to geololgical survey maps so I suppose that would bethe place to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The time of sun exposure /shade is huge. The type of snow too, Scooter being near the coast had more cement that refroze locking crystals tight together. Loose high ratio snow vaporizes or sublinates easier too.Soils that are sandy warm quicker but also cool quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
