powderfreak Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Walked the dog on the Rec path this afternoon and the amount of tree damage is pretty impressive from the paste. The birches got destroyed almost uniformly ha. There’s a half a dozen down over a stretch of a mile. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Through 11/27: BOS: -1.4 BDL: -1.9 PVD: -2.8* ORH: -1.0* That is usually good news in a step-down process that we're in now. It's good that both Oct and Nov won't go down in histoy as being both above average leading into the winter season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stuck out like a sore thumb when you looked at the other sites for Nov, But i had looked at it from time to time doing comparisons over the last year by month and it was off.

powderfreak Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Giggity. What an end to November. It’s snowing nicely in town with an inch down. The mountain is getting absolutely throttled. Near 2”/hr stuff. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that we say birch bender, I had 3 white birch in my front yard during the Oct 2011 paste storm and they bent down like PF's picture, I cut them up for firewood, like you say it's not good firewood, burn's fast like pine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skivt2 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Absolute pound town all day at Killington. Unfortunately the pass claimed yet another victim. The state needs to do something as we are having a fatality a month on rt 4. This time a car lost control headed east down the mountain and hit a bus head on which careened into the woods. Around 5:30 we were looking at an inch an hour with it having snowed all day. Well over a foot since Sunday night here. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah , it's just okay firewood. I never cut it. Super heavy when it's green and when it dries not much heat value in it. Although I'm spoiled with locust and red oak. Better than elm. I wouldn't burn that s*** if I was freezing. Certainly wouldn't process it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah flow has been becoming more blocked, lift shallower, and deeper moisture decreasing after the cold front. Putting the better snow upstream of the barrier. I bet the west slope communities are seeing a steady fluff job. There’s definitely some right to left drift on the higher scans with stiff NW flow and CAA. Usually a bit east of the best radar scans is where the snow ends up. Right now the best returns are backing up towards Williston/BTV suburbs area, but I bet towns like Underhill to Jericho are getting it best. @J.Spinhas to be getting smoked.
