East Coast Roll Call 23/24_The Guns Are Blowing

[Glap]

We escaped in Richmond with a washed out driveway and being stranded until late pm. Neighbor’s weather station reported 5.5 inches in 24 hrs.
Some of the carnage:




Thanks for thinking of us. As Alev said, if anyone in the area needs a hand don’t hesitate to reach out.

Saw some strong winds forecasted for southern Vermont and upstate last night. Bolton lost a good piece of its access road, but I have not seen much else posted.

[ex-powderbroker]

my friend’s road in waterbury was pretty messed up. his nextdoor neighbor has to go around 8 miles to get back on 100 until it’s fixed.

^wow. looks like a perfect spot for a chase scene and chased car clearing the gap at 100mph...were this not real life.

hope you're enjoying the summer - and that the weather's been kinder up your way.

it's been tropically oppressive here, with the occasional torrential downpours and tornado warnings. fortunately none of the 3" hail that was reported in western ny this week!

Drove up the access road to BV USA last weekend and WOW. Hard to believe they would even open it! I'll try to post photos and videos here if I can.
We were trapped in West Bolton for a bit, but all good for the most part. I wasn't around last summer, but a few of the basements I saw and helped clean out were damn stinky from that river silt.

Some of my friends who live on the mountain were less than enthused about BV reopening so quickly and encouraging traffic on the road. I understand the emotional concern, but if the town says the road is safe enough to drive...

How you guys doing over in Vermont. Nothing happened here last night, but looks like another deluge in parts of Vermont

[ex-powderbroker]

did a nice hike to get ready for ski season. where was i?

[Harvey44]

It certainly looks familiar.

[danmelon]

little signs in english so can't be quebec, unless you're looking to do jail time bud.

[ex-powderbroker]

one of the best in resort hikes i can remember. definitely hoping to ski those glades again this year, it’s been about ten years i think!

[byates1]

4+" of rain in the upstates Fri possible. New adk ski terrain

Rumors circulating that a Killington sale is imminent (or has already happened).

Summer recon season

[Vt-Freeheel]

Huh? No it's not.

[singlecross]

I’m putting this here because only us ice-coasters will understand the driveway sand barrel reference.

Tell me you’re from the city without telling me you’re from the city…

[Brownski]

It’s upside down right? I’m gonna play devil’s advocate and say they were running low and rotated it to make it easier to get the shovel in there.

[Harvey44]

That's how we have ours set up.

[Vt-Freeheel]

That's how we have ours set up.

With a couple of bags of trash for added cred?
