Sad but true

Yeah, this is the worst weather

[deleted]

I put my snow tires on. Sorry, y'all.

The sled is much more efficient for moving firewood inside. I need to replenish the inside pile this weekend and I'm not looking forward to using the wheelbarrow. While I miss winter being winter, I don't mind avoiding the extra heating costs and snow removal headaches.

Must have something to do with snowfall over a percentage of a states total land area or something super specific like that. All the listicles that cite that ranking are pretty vague about how it’s determined, and the numbers they use seem to completely ignore entire mountainous regions, which easily dwarf the entire state of Vermont in total land area and receive way more snow even on a bad year.

I do. I’m praying and hoping it gets colder and we see some significant snowfall.

Yeah, but you boomers love to toss around insults and project your shortcomings.

We need to double and triple down on "Made in VT" so our people who reside here all year around can get paid enough to actually live in VT. We will always have tourism, skiing/wintersports, and agriculture.. we just need more of the rest of the industries that make up a functional economy too!

Pretty sure we won't have any peaches or plums or fruit this year. Have read that maple sap is starting to run. It's raining and 38 here in the south, at 7am! In January!

My neighbor is going to start wondering what happened to all of his goats...

*discussing the weather and calling it climate change.

There, fixed it for you

Right back at you. Imagine spending this much time tantruming about people discussing climate change at times you deem inappropriate. Please forgive us, my lord.

A conversation about climate change would be talking about species changes in trees in the near future, how to properly manage that transition and what it means for our native wildlife, how to build resilience into our food systems, how to produce and conserve energy while still growing as a technological society. All shit I’m totally down to talk about. Bitching about a couple days in the 40’s in January and calling it climate change is ignorance. I guess if I’m triggered by anything, it’s your ignorance.

nope

This is like saying you don’t mind talking about coffee but don’t you dare bring up coffee beans. That’s what you sound like. It’s completely absurd and childish.

I’m so sorry you got triggered by adults discussing a very important matter. I hope you can pull through.

The phrase (and concept) have been around for much longer than the Baby Boomer generation. It would have taken you less time to look it up than it did to post your comment. Fucking children.

Welcome to the future

Once again for the guys in the back, WEATHER IS NOT CLIMATE CHANGE. Believe it or not being correct in how you speak actually matters.

I don’t ignore or disregard climate change in the slightest, I’m just not dumb enough to blame the daily weather on climate.

You literally said elsewhere that you don’t deny climate change, you’re just tired of hearing about it. That’s literally ignoring it. Literally. Speaking of mental workouts… my god dude bro.

As someone who has known more than one exotic dancer, this is standard operating procedure. *travelling Dancers are driven usually 3 or 4 hours by their handlers to perform so they are not at risk of running into their brother, uncle or cousin at their engagement.

I don’t know about to fast but I do wonder about the longevity of some in smaller places. As the poster below mentioned, there is one in Cambridge which could serve Smuggs I guess but the amount of money which needs to be invested in inventory that has a shelf life vs the off season sales must be a big financial commitment by the owner.

I hope we eventually get to the point where it can be sold like beer or wine, or even like liquor, and the distribution channels become normalized.

Better yet, sold at the farmers market. If that happened I would get the tent back out and supplement my income quickly.

In general agreement with all of the above.

I'm not someone who spends a lot of time outdoors beyond yard work and cleaning snow.

That all said, given the choice I would reluctantly go for a healthy layer of snow for some outdoor activity as opposed to this...."Pacific Northwest but colder"

You will be banking on desperate climate refugees and the rest of the US going to shit. With crappy snow, long dark cold and rainy winters and small mountains VT won't be that attractive to people.

Burlington in particular has increased by 7 degrees. Haven't read into why Burlington is so unique, maybe the lake or geography.

It's a statistical thing, not black and white. Climate change increased the probability and ultimately the severity of last week's weather. There's still a chance it could've happened without all the excess CO2, but it would've been less likely.
