Lets just hope he doesn’t have the luck of @eyewall...he moved to BTV from the Carolinas and then the airport goes like two full years without a 6”+ event, including the only time in 65 years with 0” at the Mansfield Stake on Christmas.

I started my first winter here with a snowblower and it gets old very quickly when you get into those 2" of snow every day patterns. Ha, I think it was a reference to classic superstitions on the forums about buying new winter toys... you buy something like a snowmobile and snowblower, you are guaranteeing a snowless winter so you can’t use it. But yeah, plowing is the only way to go if you average 100+ per season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have plowing lined up, same guy from down in Gorham who has been plowing it for years. Only issue is when he runs out of places to put the snow I need to pay a separate crew to come in with construction machinery to physically haul the snow away and make room around the house and garages. Apparently this happens sometimes and just this past winter it happened Snowblower is to clear the deck when needed and the walkways to the front door.

Apparently this happens sometimes and just this past winter it happened Snowblower is to clear the deck when needed and the walkways to the front door. Yeah I average decently less snow at 750ft than you and we need to have someone come once or twice a winter sometimes with a bucket loader to push the snowbanks way out into the lawn. It's common, those snowbanks will pile up and then it'll rain at some point and turn them to concrete that only a bucket loader can deal with. Last year we had more dense QPF rich snow with the warmer pattern, and that's when its really needed. The plows can crush the fluffer nutter snowfalls pretty easily into the existing snowbanks. In confined areas you need to just truck it away and dump it somewhere, ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t believe how many less people around than last year I was there on June 27 weekend and it was pretty packed that weekend . It gets busier in the late evening , like now it’s quite busy . Where did you go earlier today ? The beach wasn’t as packed bc they still had parking when the 27’th didn’t in a couple of the lots but there is pretty good spacing on the sand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like 2011-2012 in a way... below normal snowfall, not an inspiring winter by any stretch of the imagination. But the N/NW side of New England got a few events and then some nickle and dimers... compared with very little in other areas, it seems like a good winter. Some good events during "winter" months can start the idea, and then a solid finish is a lasting impression. To some it seems like a better winter relative to the actual numbers. In reality it wasn't a very good winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late March and April produced pretty well. The big sites like PWM and BTV were definitely below average though. Maybe powderfreak can chime in for his area.

We had a low this morning of 73F... that's as warm as I can ever remember. We always get into the 60s at the very least. Always. The timing last night was perfect for a possibly record high min (?) with the approach of Fay. Southerly flow of high pwat air out of the tropics? The only way to mix the lowest levels around here is with the 30-50mph low level jet wind speeds recorded at the summits... especially with the speed max happening early morning when you'd hope for the diurnal bottom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup...or out ahead of a cold front, but usually we get the passage at some point overnight. Clouds tend to help keep it stirred as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Near 70 this AM, very mild for here. Only 7/19/2005 has recorded a 70+ minimum. The day before was 69, also 9/8/99. Nothing else above 68, and today's minimum will probably be about there. Pleasant atm with a breeze but a high launch point for this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
