Vermont Flooding

[halliday]

If any of you dentists have ski homes you AirBNB, consider opening it up to longer term rentals for displaced Vermonters. Lowering your daily price so someone who has lost their living situation has some stability is impactful.

Circle had some road washout but damage was mostly confined to driveway culverts. Our place is on high ground so we didn't suffer any damage. Not sure they've done a full assessment up on the hill but DoWork expressed concern about the Red Chair as many of its critical components were stored in the space below where the counterweight resides. I saw pics that the entire area in front of the building was underwater.

How did your place fare in Weston? I know the green and the areas along the river were underwater.

I did see that pic of red base hadn’t thought of that. Glad all good for you guys.

Mom was there but she’s up out of town so spared ; typical driveway and road washouts but nothing bad compared- thanks. She’s been down at the library and playhouse helping out and I know she’s in the neighborhood connections group so trying to get out to all of her people has been frustrating.

Vibes to VTribe.

We desperately need some of that rain.

Round 2 (or maybe 3)

[From_the_NEK]

Anybody know status of roads up in NEK?….was supposed to go to Hill Farmstead this Friday/ but will of course reshuffle my plans in respect if their in a state of emergency, etc.

*Yeah, we’ll go another time/ my buddy says don’t come.

I was going to say "it depends on which part of the NEK you are going to". Eastern NEK (east of the Danville-Willoughby highlands) is fine. West of that is a mess. Hardwick suffered major damage to all roads in and out of town. It is going to be a while before trying to get through there isn't a difficult.

Round 2 (or maybe 3)

hoping this is a dud like so many of last winter's predicted snows.
"keep an eye on the sky" is dis-comforting to say the least.

On the plus side, Okemo just increased it’s base elevation.


Crazy. Hope the spigot turns off soon for you guys.

Slowkemo needs to lower base elevation

If only this shit scoured 500 feet from the base.

Vibes to you flood victims.

A ski area in SoVT with a base elevation barely above 1,000' that faces due east and southeast does not need a lower base elevation....

Heh. Fair callout.

The two times I skied there I kept asking myself why.

[Danno]

My parents had a house near Ludlow until a few years ago, and Ludlow was our "primary" town, but I still never skied Okemo.

[buttahflake]

Shitting on Okemo is not what this thread is about.
Take a Lap, Beaters.

[Core Shot]

If we had a maggot gathering and all shit on the okemo summit it might just get enough vert to be worth skiing.

So much drama back east

There's fucking drama everywhere. Its July.

Got a pic from Hill Farmstead today, so apparently that's a good sign.

This shit sucks every time. Rt 4 will end up washing out again in another ten years unless the process gets slowed down and done correctly this time. Irene was a real fast slam back together which caused the major damage this time again.

also the state needs to start mitigating beaver swamps and ponds on the mtns, every rain event lately starts to break the dams and send entire ponds rushing at once. The otter creek along rt 7 had never been that high in my entire life and it’s full of dams for 20 miles north to rutland. With as much water that flows to that main River the state and fed have to start stepping up and fixing necessities and quit chasing woke ideology because it’s single handedly killing normal Vermonters.

The most Shube think said on hear in a bit. I got a love hate relationship with that state. My biggest dislike is the head in sand air of superiority that only sees covered bridges and maple syrup. Its a real place with real people and real problems but that doesn't look good on the postcard.

VT Fish & Wildlife have programs for landowners, towns, & road crews to help control beaver ponds, install beaver deceivers, and even have a map of where they are. They have FAQs to guide private landowners how to limit beaver activity, and have regulations to allow trapping.

Stop hanging out with Banyai and educate yourself. This flooding is not about social justice efforts, it’s about unprecedented weather patterns.

install beaver deceivers

Contender for band name.

What's a beaver deceiver?

[Peruvian]

Contender for band name.

What's a beaver deceiver?

It's a cage that goes on the end of a culvert so a beaver can't build a dam within it.

The Baffled Beavers would be a great girl band name too.
