It's more like the 3km NAM... that had warning snows falling on Friday before any upslope.  I think the 3km and mesos have the right idea with the cooling but it has to be under that heavier lift.  Wherever that synoptic lift occurs should be able to flip to snow.  GFS pushes it into the Adirondacks, the NAM/WRF are more compact and keep it east into NVT.

This is the first part of the system...I think will be elevation dependent so I'll sell those amounts in BTV area...but the idea is there.

 

congrats quebec city?

Would love to see a bluebomb in my hood to cap off the winter, but not likely in the cards.

We also have 40ish miles of town owned roads... so,  $120,000 per mile = $4.8 million.  I estimate 2000 taxpaying households... so $2400 per household.  Divided over 10 years = $240 per household to have well maintained, resurfaced roads every 10 years.  My road is over 20 years old and has never been properly maintained.  Just potholes filled with cold patch

I also just paid out over $500 in excise taxes, this year, which are supposed to be for road maintainance and repair (plowing is separate I think)

 

I would buy that in a heartbeat.  I have already spent $1200 in the last year on suspension work on our cars 

Don't get me started on excise taxes. We pay $5,000 in property tax for a pond view, albeit nice, 0.5mi in the distance. Volunteer FD, no PD except county sherrifs. We do get garbage pickup, but that's it. We pay to plow our road. And then they get to collect their their vehicle excise tax. I genuinely hate going into the town office to pay that tax.

At town meeting earlier this month, the road commissioner (whose family business has much experience in building/maintaining roads) stated that adding base and pavement to an existing paved road would cost about $120,000/mile and would last up to 10 years.  A topcoat would run 40-50k and might last 3 years - less, in my observations.  Our town of approximately 1,500 has about 40 miles of road, not counting the numbered highways.  The math isn't budget friendly.  I hope our 2,000' of gravel road never gets paved - the material is good enough that ruts never get more than 2-3" deep though things get slimy this time of year.  Get the frost out of the top 6" and the slime is gone.

Our dirt road (~0.2mi) really could use a fresh gravel topcoat. Couple years ago I had a guy add some reclaim to a very short section of downhill leading to our driveway turnoff to help prevent runoff of the existing gravel into our driveway. It worked for about a year, but it's eroded again. Would like to add some topcoat gravel to the whole road this summer as some sections are now eroded down to the base layer. Not sure on what kind of cost that might be and of course we have to get buy in from the neighbors to splt the cost.

Some serious snowpack damage yesterday - stake down to 20" - but man the 60s felt amazing. Moderate snow now which just doesn't have the same appeal after a day in the 60s

51f still. Gross

Solid B-, just above average. Maybe a B with a little extra credit. 

50f denied today. Clouds keeping it cooler. 43F

Ah, Ones that produced snow that actually tracked favorably for the region? Miller A's, Miller B's,  MECS, HECS? I knew what he meant, We have had plenty of over running events with the primary going thru the lakes or Upstate NY.

When was the last winter where there were no coastals?

Picked up 0.5" last night.

On FB in the last week, I have seen a lot of pics in this area from people of owls, I curious to the reason why.
