Breaking point was that January a couple of years ago (2015?) when we had below normal temps, above normal precip and below normal snow. Every event that month seemed perfectly timed to screw us.
Hard pressed to think of a better NFL postseason, especially from a neutral’s standpoint. So many close, exciting games. I hope it holds through the SB, though history suggests it won’t.
Not only that but from a pure business perspective, a snowstorm in the population centers is just about as good as one up here. Would we have liked to have shared in the fun, of course but we currently have enough for winter outdoor activities so it’s not the end of the world.
I’ve actually got a BTV NWS employee living not too far away. I usually check their total in the PNS to make sure I’m not too far out of whack. I’m usually within half an inch or so.
There were a couple of runs but nothing serious. BTV was thinking 1”-3” and even bumped it up to 2”-5” for eastern VT after that really zonked run but you’re right, this one was never really for us.
Since VT isn't really in it for the big snows, lets talk about the truly exciting stuff. Month to date BTV is -6.1° MPV is -2.1° and MVL is -5.5°. Been a pretty chilly month. BTV is what really stands out to me. It seems hard for them to get even an average month temperature wise let alone such a large negative departure. I would think some of that is due to a new 30 year timeframe but I don't know. It has been cold.
