I was thinking your home base must be doing well?

Earlier I saw 7.6” in Jericho and 8.0” in Waterville with snow continuing.

Only a couple here in Fairfax but my mom sent a photo of a nice stack on their deck in Underhill Center. Their place cleans up in these.

Feels like the good ol days lately with some clippers and lots of NW flow. Going to check in on lift serve tomorrow.

How much longer is this going to last for you guys? How much you have now since it started?

I’d just be guessing here, but probably 6-9 maybe? Should last into late Thursday/early Friday. There might be 12-18 out of this cycle I’d guess; maybe a little less. Between the last cycle that started new years and when this one finishes, I’d say 36-48”.

Any guess which direction the wind is blowing? Could be 6, could be 12 out there. No clue. It’s a moderate snow the last couple hours just whipping everywhere. This one is going to be hard to get an accurate measurement on anywhere….

Nice, that looks like a healthy snow plot 4-6” of new snow.  Scour 0” over old pack and 12” in the drifts.

High Road at midday. Wind just filling everything in between the trees.  The board starts 2” off the ground, so when the whole thing fills in, it tries to capture the real snowfall.

If this stake started at the packed out snow level, it would be 2” higher over most readings.

where would be a good place to move to considering upslope snow, in the future? for reference i plan on learning the HVAC trade and for a couple years stay down here then move north to one of the snowier spots.

What is your commuting tolerance?  And, is it just upslope you’re interested in?  The job market is best in Chittenden County but if you don’t mind commuting, living in Lamoille County could work or even farther east around Hardwick is fine. HVAC techs can pretty much find work across the state.

i've driven to florida the entire way from dover in one go twice to meet family, i don't think it'll be too much of a problem. but that was with dry roads. i know it snows a lot up there, but experience will come and i'll be just fine. 

Mostly interested in upslope, bigger coastals usually miss the area i'm interested in, but i can chase anyway. I buy bulk foods a lot, rice and beans, that sort of stuff. Shouldn't have too much of a problem with groceries. Cost of living seems lower there than NY or NH/MA.

Scratch that. One check on the overnight totals and current temps and I think it's a good day to catch up on things inside.

It’s still pretty brutal at least up here. One upper mountain lift and you have to duck into the woods immediately to get out of the wind. I’m sure back country is better, but any break is going to throw the wind right in your face.

Had a break in the snow this morning, now back to a light mist like snow. Overnight totals not that impressive. Jay went 2-4 in the last 24 hours which is actually light. I’d say more like 6, but blown all over.

I have no idea how you’d tell.  We have 3-5 foot drifts and then nothing.

Like this Smuggs photo… 2” overnight and this haha.
