I’m sure they haven’t had to use one of those in a long time because our winters are a joke now 😥

Fun fact, we get more snow now than we did 100 years ago.

LOL...you should have seen it in the 60's and 70's!!! I remember a snowstorm in 69 where we literally had to dig our way out of our house in Malletts Bay. It was wild man.

I don't think you'll ever see snow like that again in Vermont.

So.etims yes, sometimes no. Here is a handy chart I found. Now, this is for Burlington. I know these totals are lower than the rest of the state. I grew up in Chester, and there was always more snow there, than Burlington.

And it melts faster so ground covering snow is down despite more falling.

The last time they used one on the Rutland to bellows falls was 2 years ago when we got 4 feet of snow

You could probably clear tracks with a push broom now.
