ebinmaine 74,841 #1 Posted 6 hours ago I've shared Maps like this in the past. I know some of you get a kick out of it like I do. I live in the circle of red in Southwestern Maine. My work is based out of Portland. As you can see, they get an average of about 20" of snow less than I do. Luckily I have understanding management and if the weather is gross we just don't drive. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Razorback 1,175 #2 Posted 5 hours ago My dad's side of the family is from far southwestern New York, a bunch of dairy farmers. I have a cousin who moved his entire dairy operation from there to Muleshoe, TX (he had a herd of 600-700 at the time)....... that was maybe 20 years ago??? He told me that the last winter he spent in NY, they had 309" of snow!!!!!! CRAZY!!!!!!! (Of course, that's the infamous lake-effect snow machine in action) 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handy Don 14,827 #3 Posted 5 hours ago The coastal effect on snowfall is quite strong. Prevailing winds here are mostly westerly so being a quarter mile downwind from the widest bay on the Hudson River (Haverstraw bay), and at less than 100’ of elevation but backed by hills well over 500', we see less snow (25-ish inch average) and more slush than the higher areas a few miles east (50-ish inches). Hence my decision to abandon clog-prone snowblowing for a plow. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My management is also quite understanding...she doesn't make me go shopping with her when it snows. 1 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
