Yeah that's quite a bit of snow to be dealing with... as much as I love it I'm glad we only got 5". From the reports I have seen, it looks like most of that 40" fell in a very short period of time. A report from Ludlow suggests a snowfall rate of 9" in one hour, which is insane.Originally Posted by PARKER MAPLE

OMG! That's like 3" of rain in 1hr! Hurricane like rain. Better check with my friend. He's close to there... well I guess not... sort of...
according to weather channel...
On average, thirteen inches of snow equals one inch of rain in the US, although this ratio can vary from two inches for sleet to nearly fifty inches for very dry, powdery snow under certain conditions.
Hey little hogback... you know my father in law.... Dennis Maloney! Almost everyone over there knows him.
Anyone tapping for Wed/thursday 50 degree days in VT?
Not in the warm weather. I like hitting the frozen trees much better. The 26t though I'm going for it. hopefully it will pay off starting a little earlier this year.
Wow 40” of snow last week Friday to now only 5-6” and lots of bare spots in the woods.
Warm rain all day sure did change things a bit.
