Very windy here. I was just up at a meeting next to the KMPV ASOS, which appears to be off-line at the moment, and the wind was blowing open the lobby doors of the building we were at. When we left we drove through a very brief shower of what I assume was graupel/half melted hail?

I try to keep the heat off until 11/1 too but I had a cold and was shivering to beat the band and had to break down to get warm. It's off again now.

I don't need that many HP. The non-turbo would be plenty for me. I think that's 90hp. My Jag has a 4 stroke 1100 and it works fine for me. The addition of a turbo packs a lot of stuff into a small space under the cowl.

That big black trailer out front was tricked out with just about everything, as it should be for that amount of $$. I have a 12' hybrid that I like a lot but would like a 3-4 place one. That way my wife could ride more than just from home. I'm always sort of in the market for a sled upgrade. Never a brand new one but for a good deal if I think it makes sense. I'm kicking myself a little over the deal I missed out on in Epping. A dealer had a 2014 900 ACE with 5400 miles on it for $5K. Had just been serviced. I wasn't ready and didn't have a trailer with me to bring it home. I think that would have been a great option for me. Those ACE motors are bullet proof. My wife and son both have 600 ACEs that are great. Oh well, looks like I'm with my 2007 Arctic Cat for another year.

I didn't even see any above that, only above the treeline on Mt. Washington. I think PF said the snowline was around 2500' on Mansfield so I was basing my hopes on that.

I saw those lights. I don'y have a heated shield or else I would have bought one. I really liked the $20,000 trailer outside, pretty sure my wife wouldn't have appreciated the 2nd mortgage I would have had to take out to pay for it though. lol

My shift started at 2:00 and went to closing. Too bad I missed you. I always like that show. It's just the right size for me. Not so big that you get overwhelmed but big enough to be interesting.

Lol. Sounds like you’re still in Nashville!

I was hoping to see some on the Kanc today but it was not to be. I think the top of that road is 2800’. It was mid 40’s up there. Mt. Washington was pretty well cloaked above tree line but that was the only snow we saw.

Drove through the Whites on Rt.2 on my way to Augusta, ME. Cold drizzle until we got to Gorham. Coldest temps were in Groton, VT, 38 on the car thermo. 40 through the Whites and 46 here in Augusta. Mountains were cloud topped so we didn’t see any snow up high.

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.

I think this must be what we have in a couple of sand traps at the golf course I play at. I wasn't sure what they were so we marked those bunkers as free drop areas for a tournament this weekend. Didn't want to chance anyone getting stung.

Did Tip write that first sentence?

I have the 18v system and like all of the tools. I think the trimmer lasts about an hour on a charge. I don't have a ton of trimmimg to do so it works for me.

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.
