‘16-17 was a big 375” at the 3000ft High Road snow plot on Mansfield. That was actually the biggest winter I measured, in a decade of almost daily personal measurements up there. It’s certainly underrated for powder days in the hills.

Do you want that job? It sounds like signing up for a daily colonoscopy for the next four years.

Danger ahead! Locally in north/central VT, in Montpelier there was like 40 cases in the past two weeks associated with an ice rink/arena (Central VT Memorial Civic Center) that was hosting youth and adult hockey leagues. It can spread just as easily in NNE, but luckily deaths and hospitalizations seem decently lower than back in the spring.

How many people are there in Pittsburg to begin with? That is way far north and rural. Edit: Oh I see you are talking total cases, not percentage of population or rate.

Snow seems to be one of the best fertilizers, ha. Either that or the grass just looks really green when the white blanket melts.

Yeah down to 3” or so here on average (more like 0-6”)...pretty sloppy wet stuff now. South facing yards got torched.

Yeah I agree it’s reasonable. Funny how perfectly this has been forecast by numerous political analysts ahead of time. Trumps been sowing seeds of doubt for months and everything I read basically had this as the progression. If Trump wins, it’s legit. Biden wins, someone cheated. Next we’ll do recounts and lawsuits. I’m all for recounts in any close election if it’s less than 1%.

Maybe they’ll find my last Amazon shipment too, lol.

Yeah we’ve never held an election during a pandemic. I thought most states were clear that it would be days before they count everything upfront. The USPS is finding election mail in distribution centers and stuff like that still. I also didn’t know that like many states have regs that they have till early December to certify the results in their state.

But so many great commercials while watching the Red Sox suck this summer!

46F and sunny... snow is melting but not very fast. Guess it is an early February sun angle and not April or something.

Yeah, my wife and I have had to pay a lot more the past two years than any time before it. I still haven't figured out why lol. Owed thousands in April when I used to get like a nominal amount back.

Yeah and that’s why I laugh when people say Trump didn’t divide the nation further. He literally divided it so much that more than half our population would vote for anything that wasn’t him, even an inanimate object. It wasn’t policies by any stretch, it’s whenever he opens his mouth or hits a keyboard he loses another voter.

It’s a shame Trump’s personality is what it is, like I said. A lot of people don’t root for the bully or a**hole. It is what it is.

Yup. And most of the COVID stuff was Trump not keeping his mouth shut on some of the sound bites. I honestly think if he just talked less, tweeted less, and didn't seem so contentious about everything he wins in a landslide. It's not about Biden, this whole election is about Trump. They could've ran an Alpaca up there for the Dems and it likely would've gotten the similar vote.

It's all Trump's rhetoric, his attitude, his lying, peddling conspiracies, etc. Very few voted for Biden. They voted against Trump. Trump would've won in a landslide if he just kept his mouth shut and stayed off Twitter. His personality turns so many people off and he may very well lose because of his divisiveness rhetoric. Like has been said, the actual President doesn't matter/effect most people. State and local elections, and senate/house matter more to how it affects your life. A lot of people just want less of a Saturday Night Live skit for a President at this point.

Oh yeah the nation is just 50-50 split at this point and both sides are digging in. It's very easy to turn it off in the mountains though. But agreed with you there.

I would've thought you'd be happy without a blowout by the Dems across the board.

Yeah I agree. PA might not even be in play. Flipping Arizona was crucial.

What a day. Bluebird after the snowstorm.

Mother Nature rolling a coastal system for SNE, then a clipper for NNE.... not a bad start.

19F at 8pm. It’s warming up in the coming days, but this has been some wintry period. Teens for lows and multiple days of at least flakes in the air for most folks, and a decent chunk of the forum has seen a measurable snowfall at that (record breaking to the coast at BOS)... this was a solid prelude to winter over the last week for the region.

Final event snow totals from BTV. Nice event for ski country... can tell the flow was a bit unblocked into the east slopes and also because Lake Placid area in the Adirondacks doesn't usually get 9-12" of snow in these events. Good lake effect and upslope connection for them. It actually looked like the "snow map" models had the locations pegged pretty well if you were to average like the prior 3 days of all model runs.

Ha yeah, it's like one person gets murdered in your county in some meth love triangle gone wrong... and all the sudden you've got the highest murder rate in the state. Edit: Just looked it up and seems true... the White Mountains as a whole is one of the most dangerous places in NH for violent crime. Small pockets elsewhere but those wide open spaces... Be safe out there lol. Using percentages of population doesn't always seem like a good way to look at things.

Yeah the lower population counties take very little to hit that point. One big Thanksgiving dinner outbreak will do it for Coos County.
