Reply to Morning walk in the snow by Rich_Swing_1287
Growing up in the Tri-State I love this area of the country. But....being in Western Maine today....pretty or not....this sucks. We have 16 inches of HEAVY slop and its still coming down. I just bought my snowblower a drink. I feel sorry for what I am about to do to her.

In five years they will probably ban gas lawnmowers and snowblowers. Vermont and a few states have already come for gas blowers. Its only a matter of time.

Reply to Today on the trail in Lisbon by SadExtension524
Didn't help its 55 degrees. All the snow came off my roof today and is now a 3 ton slush puppy blocking the only way into my house.
Slippery as Hell but I'll bet it was a great day on the trail though.

Seriously, I haven't seen my schlong in 2 days working outside in this. He is apparently smarter than I am. The hell with Groundhog day, I will tell you tomorrow if we have an early spring coming. Lol!

Vermont is turning into what Maine on the coast has become. Impossible to afford for locals. We are becoming service personnel for the rich.
Vermont was better before Starbucks.

Reply to I get to experience -30 degrees for the first time this coming Saturday. Do I need to be concerned with my well freezing? It’s a standard drilled well with casing and cap. Any advise from my northern friends? Thanks! by MicasNoggin
My wife has chickens and has already informed me that my Britts dog crate is being 'repurposed' and placed in the living room. Luckily its only the windchill that's going to be that low.
Make sure you have everything you need as cars don't start well.
If you are worried about you well....leave a cold tap slightly open furthest from where your water enters your house.
Wells fare well and you can thaw pipes. Worry about any animals that may be outside. Once frozen animals don't thaw well. Double down on high energy feed and check water often.

Reply to If you had to pick one restaurant in the greater BTV area which would be your favorite? (Pick 1) Why is it your favorite? Is it the food, atmosphere, people? by thegateway_way
Papa Franks. Although the atmosphere did change when the Mama died.
Still get a great dinner for the family for cheap.

Reply to Your favorite Vermont critter and why by -PineMarten
Screw the Marten. They are Sadists. They should all be turned into gloves and purses.....they will find the smallest hole in your chicken coop and decapitate all of your chickens in a night. They don't eat the chickens....they just get off chewing their heads off.
I had one that came back every other night for a month just to kill one chicken at a time. I tried live traps...not so live traps and finally caught him in a snow storm where I could track him. Too bad by that time I was down to 3 chickens.
They are pretty and soft though. Smart animal....just sadistic. I wouldn't have minded if it utilized the bird. But they don't.

My father in law has a 60 lb'er. Dog is absolutely amazing but holy shit neurotic. He was 'normal'.....until....he herded the horses and he got kicked in the head.
Now he is obsessed with watching nature shows on tv. Anything about New England wildlife and squirrels.
I thought my Springer was weird....but he cant hold a candle to Moses. Unreal smarts to the point of insanity.
Literally searches the house for TV shows he likes.

Lakes region here in Maine around Sebago, Moose pond and Long Lake was complete white out around dinner last night but only got 3 inches. Trees down everywhere but much to do about what amounted to nothing
Makes me wish I still lived in VT on 108 by Smuggs. Must have been a hell of a Powder day.
