    Is the St of VT cash paid by the taxpayer?

    No. I believe they used federal DOT funding. 

    State Incentives

    Vermont's National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Planning

    The U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) NEVI Formula Program requires the Vermont Agency of Transportation (AOT) to submit an annual EV Infrastructure Deployment Plan (Plan) to the DOT and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Office of Energy and Transportation (Joint Office), describing how the state intends to distribute NEVI funds. The submitted plans must be established according to NEVI guidance(PDF).

  2. If anyone in VT is looking to go electric for a vehicle the rebates up there are the best in the US.

    This is from a recently purchased f150 lighting.

    Green Mountain Power is also offering charging at significantly reduced rates of .13 kwh. The math works out at those rates that the savings over gas are astronomical.

  3. From Don Sutherland on the NYC forum.

    Under variably cloudy skies and the lack of an onshore breeze, coastal sections saw the mercury rise to daily records. Daily record highs included:

    Bridgeport: 72° (old record: 65°, 1990)
    Islip: 73° (old record: 67°, 1990)
    New Haven: 65° (old record: 61°, 2022)
    New York City-JFK Airport: 72° (old record: 65°, 1986)
    Westhampton: 69° (old record: 62°, 2014)

    It was a cold day.  41/34 is the spread since last night at midnight at the local ASOS.

    Normal is 38/16.

    +11.5 halfway through March is absolutely insane.  Has to be rivaling the top first half of March departures on record.

    Were you up there in 2007? I lived in BTV in 05-07 when my wife was finishing up at UVM. We were just reminiscing about a freezing cold St Patrick's day party in 07 back when BTV actually got cold... haha

    I'm so glad I got to experience that winter up there including that Valentines day storm. The amount of subzero temps that winter was nuts. I don't think I'll ever experience a winter like that again.

    You can always find work if you own one too but when I get one it will fit in my garage lol. You can’t be anal about a clean truck like ditty but always have it out in those dangerous elements he’s constantly facing. The high winds, scorching heat, crushing severe, major ice storms, and snowy winters must be tough on a truck outside. 

    Look at midsized trucks.

    I bought a Ford Ranger last year. Looked at the Tacoma's and Colorados as well. Awesome little truck that even my wife can drive. 4cyl turbo that often gets around 26 mpg. 

    @Damage In Tolland nothing but clean trucks down here..

     I also agree that it’s important to know the where and how, as it educates everyone to the danger or things to watch out for.  It was lower down in a popular backcountry “bowl” called the Rock Garden.  He fell into a hole or undermined area and became trapped and unable to free himself.  Some of those traps are like 20+ feet down.  Sounded like Rescuers had a sketchy time getting there, with a lot of undermined traps and punching through to air below the snowpack.  It may look good and smooth, but with krummholz stunted trees and big boulders propping the fluffy snowpack up with a lot of air underneath, it’s like a whole zone of trap doors.  My mind goes to all the thaws and warm weather, the rocks and trees absorb the heat and melt snow around them all winter.  Then we get a big cycle of fluff and wind to cover it all up.  You end up immobile or upside down, alone… I don’t know enough about it to know how much a partner would’ve helped, but the alarm would’ve sounded immediately instead of hours later.

    Thanks for the info. I found a YouTube video from the area. Seems like an insane area to ski by yourself.  So the skier fell into something like at 35 seconds into the youtube video?

  8. .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...


    *Winter Storm Warnings remain up across the entire forecast
     area.

    *Adjusted snowfall totals across the board with storm totals around 8-10 inland and 6-9 inches near the coast. Locally higher amounts.

    Impressive snow banding has been occurring with strong mid level frontogenesis this morning. We have been receiving reports in Orange County around 8 inches and seeing reports into CT 4-6" in
    interior S CT. Have bumped totals back up in this corridor, but also note the heaviest banding should begin to sag southeastward this morning with rates dropping off inland in the next few
    hours.

    Elsewhere, made some minor adjustments up with the overall totals remaining similar except indicating some enhanced totals
    across Long Island as banding likely persists a few hours longer than places further N&W. A general 6-8 inches looks likely with locally higher amounts due to the banding.

    Snowfall rates of 1-2" per hour are expected through midday for
    much of the area, but rates should be coming down inland in the
    next few hours.
