Jessus things are fucked weather wise. Thunderstorms today had things a bit on edge, hope this wasn't a further strain on anyone
I was driving back to SS from Syracuse a few years back and was just ahead of the tornado that hit Amsterdam. Like 10 minutes ahead of it....Quote:

A bright note from the region, Maine paved 16 from the NH border to Rangeley
Still raining, hard, but very little hydroplaning or standing water all the way to Errol

^ Holy shit that road was bad. Drove it for the first time at the end of January to ski with Singlecross and family at Saddleback.

And 17 North of Height of Land is under construction; in its current, torn and smoothed state, it's a hell of a lot better than it was in April.Quote:

My house on a hill just north of Lyndonville got .25 inches and no flooding/major road washout. 2 miles away got 4" and this...

And there are a bunch more roads like this throughout northern Caledonia County this morning.
Now the smoke is supposed to roll back in today before MORE rain on Tuesday.
Crazy weather.
Vibes just don't cut it in circumstances like this. Let's hope FEMA and DOT treat this as a catastrophic event so full federal funding can help these small towns pay for all the repairs.
Shocked if that doesn’t happen. The struggle will be getting the resources to fix all the problems. Maine, NH and Upstate are all dealing with similar problems but on a smaller scale.
At least they used the right tool for the job. No fucking around.Quote:

Although they may need to expand the "individual assistance" area at this point.

Morning news said that there are FEMA officials on the ground inspecting and expect that others counties will be added soon.
Those short term rainfall totals in the Kingdom are pretty wild..
Been avoiding the bad shit in the MRV so far even though I am close to 10" of rain since this started.
Having watched a couple of towns I lived in go through the process to get FEMA to pay for infrastructure damage, it seems reasonable (a pain in the ass, but I find that reasonable when you're spending the amount of money that's usually involved). However, as someone already pointed out, you still need to find folks who can actually do the work.Quote:

Everything open through Londonderry?
VT511 not clear.
I need to head to MA tomorrow, usually faster if I head that way rather then south to Route 2.
^ It's iffy depending on the time of day and what the repair crews are doing. When we left on Sunday, everything was open but there may be some slowdowns and backups. I would take the sure bet and take 7 down to 2.
Smokey with another 2" of rain in the forecast today. This summer is REALLY starting to suck.

No real delays in that area on the way home. Pretty heavy showers on the way back through very noticeable difference in the water levels. Looks like things are barely staying together
Well I tend to agree with this to keep it in perspective at least we didn't lose our homes or our businessesQuote:

good stuff, stoke produced:)
Outstanding!
I just paid the bill for my seasonal Killy condo. First year. 6 month Nov-May.
Honestly the 3 slack months are better than the prime and I won't get the ikon pass b/c I want fly to trips to Europe or Canada but if I keep it for many years I'll do ikon sometimes. Long season though will be sick hope I keep one of these for a while.
This is going to be SICK and you can lap that Gondi with the best trails and take calls and answer emails on the way up...awesome.
Sweet blog.Quote:
