Demographics and a 10 year hangover from tropical storm Irene. We had to borrow over $200k to repair from the floods and the debt service is eating us alive. We are a member owned 9 hole course and the golf business is tough enough when you only have 6 months per year at most to make your money.

I’m just looking to keep the course I’m president of out of bankruptcy.

Nice. That will be good for the Rangeley region.

Sad day for winter sports lovers https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2019/11/21/end-jake-burton-was-smart-unflagging-champion-snowboarding/kdCQF7zWR9hq5rcRQiUzpJ/story.html?outputType=amp&event=event12

Mommy, daddy is yelling "F**king BOS!" again. I'm scared.

Was just going to post this. Great news Me too

Anecdotal but quite a bit of white visible on Killington this afternoon as we drove south on 89. Looks like they've been blowing full force.

Not quite lol. Growing up I heard a lot about both events from old timers. I knew some old farmers that would tell you about things you could see that were remnants of the damage done by those events.

Is it down again?

I wonder why MRG didn't get in on that?

This might appeal to some of you. https://vtdigger.org/2019/09/23/as-ski-giants-consolidate-small-independents-form-their-own-cooperative/?utm_source=VTDigger+Subscribers+and+Donors&utm_campaign=9875e19e33-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_09_24_09_38&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_dc3c5486db-9875e19e33-405566485

In VT 1927 Flood 1938 Hurricane 1998 Ice Storm 2007 VDay Snowstorm 2011 TS Irene I listed the first two even though I obviously wasn’t around because they had such a profound impact that I remember hearing stories growing up from people who were there and seeing remnants of the damage from them. They were the two biggest weather events of the 20th century.

That was awesome.

Those E. MA guys are fine sprinters but PF, JSpin etc. are fine marathoners.

Probably the sentiment that has been expressed more times about more things than anything else in the history of AMWX/Eastern

That illustrates the two bands we saw on radar yesterday. That's a pretty good stripe up the eastern side of VT down through western MA and CT.

Apparently some mid level magic made its way to north central VT because have about 24". Pics below. Excuse the Ginx quality tape measure pic. It reads 20" when I took it at 7:00. The deck had been cleared after the last storm as had the other surfaces in the pics, including a large portion of the back yard. The snow was exceptionally light and airy. It was easy to wade through. Still snowing too.

While I was sitting at work in Montpelier watching a nice snowfall with 5”-6” or so by the time I left at 4:30, apparently there was something special happening here at home in Barre Town. I thing there is well over a foot that has fallen and it’s still just puking snow. I will post pics later. When I checked just before I left work, it looked like we were in the northern reaches of that band that stretched into CT, as PF had mentioned earlier. Wow, had expected less than this over a longer time frame. This is a surprise.

The worst of all worlds

Man, would love to have Allenson back posting.

The same as it will likely be for the 2024 eclipse
