Will never happen. It has me jackpotting and that is nigh on impossible.

He looks happy with his antlers!

That’s even more futile for you though.

He's new, post your snowblower epic from a few years ago to give him some perspective.

I was thinking it was a total for all precip expected to fall during the specified time period whereas a specific event would be a single date or a much smaller range of time. No big deal, I am generally happy with any snow falling as it all adds up.

Isn't that what this indicates? Total for 12/23/19 through 12/30/19?

That we joke around all the time about how Kuchera is always overly enthusiastic with the snow totals?

It's the essence of meager when you have to use the Kuchera to get 2"-4" Edit: Ninja'd by Dendy!

I know I would

Its weird. For the most part, you would think its somewhat normal around here. I've had almost continuous snow in my yard sin 11/11 or so, though it did get down to patches after the rain/warmth last week. The issue for outdoor activities is depth. The 3"-4" we got after the melt doesn't cut it for cross country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling etc. One positive for some activities though is how cold it got after the snow melted, the ground and wet spots have frozen up so the trails will benefit when the snow does build up a bit more

Welcome to VT, at least for a short visit.

Just ask JSpin, PF and Alex

That’s what you call your wife?

My friend does have some hope on the horizon. His area is scheduled to get fiber through EC Fiber https://www.ecfiber.net in the next year or so. 23 towns in East-central VT banded together you build their own high speed fiber optic network. As for me, I dropped Consolidated back when they were still Fairpoint. We have cable access and with the advent of WiFi calling could get rid of our landline. We had such problems just with their billing that I couldn’t take it and dumped them. I have never once thought about going back.

If he has Consolidated Communications, he could be living in downtown BTV and have the same issue. They are the worst. I can’t even find the words to adequately describe how truly awful they are. I listened to one of their customer service reps literally yell at my office mate the other day. He just moved to a place where they are his only option for phone or internet and there is no cell signal. It is the worst telecom company ever.

I love watching Pep have a meltdown.

I can answer the second question. Snow doesn't fall off the panels on my roof, which I think is a 2/12 pitch. They do not perform with a lot of snow on them and I am too chicken to try and clear them off. I get calls from the company in winter asking if I have lost my wi fi signal because they can't detect any activity.

I had a heat pump water heater installed a couple of years ago when the tank that came off the boiler sprung a leak. It works well and doesn’t use nearly as much electricity as a standard water heater.

I would love to but I’m not ready to spend that money yet.

My boiler was installed in March 2001. There was so much snow they couldn’t get the big old one out of the basement and had to leave it until the bulkhead was clear. I figured the entire burner would have to be replaced but it was just the motor. Took him about 15 minutes.

Same here. I actually wondered if was heavy time on the cars

I grew up with wood and have no desire to deal with it now. Luckily, it seems to just be the burner motor. We have a hybrid electric hot water heater so at least we have hot water. Until a couple of years ago our hot water came from the boiler too. Repair man is on his way. Hopefully, it’s not an unpleasant Christmas surprise.

-4 and I’m lucky enough to my burner motor sh*t the bed. House is down to 60 and the repair man can’t get here until 8:00

Lol, You’ve got a lot of work to do to become a true NNE’r. Squeaky snow is one of the small things that make it winter.

-4° on the car thermo this morning
