October Snows

Vermont October snows can be destructive because heavy, wet snow clings to leaves, weighing down trees until they topple, sometimes across power lines. Some big October snows:

Oct. 11, 1925: Six to 12 inches of snow covered most of Vermont.

Oct. 22, 1969: Burlington’s greatest October snowstorm: 5.1 inches.

Oct. 4, 1987: Huge snowstorm stranded thousands of tourists during peak foliage weekend. 21 inches fell in North Springfield, 18 inches in Bennington County. Tens of thousands were without electricity.

Oct. 25, 2005: Most leaves were still on the trees when storm hit, so massive tree damage resulted. 16.5 inches in Barton, 14.3 inches in Underhill. About 100,000 Vermonters lost electricity.

Fortunately Rich just finished up all of the prep work done on the north side of the roof which means that all of the materials that get installed under the shingles are in place and he's got some heavy duty stuff  that is designed to be okay if there's a delay with getting the shingles on.
