RE: Weekend Winter Prep

in Weekend Experiences2 years ago

Vermont gets more snow each year than any other state. Average is 54 days of snow each year and average of 89 inches for the year. In 2018-2019 we actually saw 201 inches of snow for the year.. It's fairly common to see 12-24 inches in a single day/storm cycle, although many are smaller amounts of 4-6 inches. Winter doesn't officially start until November, but it's not unusual to receive the first light snows before Halloween. Heaviest snow month is usually in March.

Sort:  

89 inches? That's a lot for an average. I don't know if I would be able to handle that much cold for that long, but I can totally understand your need for that much wood now.

How often do you get properly snowed in?

That's for the year, not an individual storm... although it's not unusual to see "25 inch in a single storm. I think the largest individual single storm/day for the state was about 36". They are used to it here and actually very good about getting the plows out early and often on the roads. We've only been here a year. Last winter the snow in the yard built up to almost waist high, but not "snowed in" for more than a few hours waiting on the plows.. Although definitely AWD country.. there is often still snow on the roads a week after a storm.
