Excessive? It's just right
Highest ground snow load in NH where people live. About 2.5 times the snow load in the rest of the state,Originally Posted by Slo-go'en
My house here in Maine is supposedly in the 100 inch snow belt. Hasn't been that way for a number of years now, but maybe this winter.....
Everyone has a photographic memory. Not everyone has film.
Incoming message from Tennessee.........it's down to 40 degrees and we're dying!
A heat wave! Check conditions in Watauga County, NC. The windchill and ice closed school today. Make up day Saturday. This is not the first weather day this year.
The forecast for the rest of the week looks worse.

It's Stupid Season here in Kentucky, too, with rain showers and temps plunging into the upper 30s today, and Georgia idiots up here venturing out without a light jacket or umbrella, much less rain shoes.

Indeed. They're both functional and stylish.

Well that's... different.
he he he.....
Hawaiians also lived/live/traveled in the mountains, high peaks at that. Moku and smaller land grants called ahupua'a by the King stretched from the tops of mountains to the sea. The largest population of Hawaiians living outside of HI is in Alaska. Hawaiians are more adaptable than often thought.
Overboots or galoshes.
Well yes, I understand that concept. Not something I would ever seriously consider for trail use, however.
I expect a very large percentage of the group wouldn't know galoshes of they tripped over them.
"It's fun to have fun, but you have to know how." ---Dr. Seuss
I don’t have any now to trip over. But my galoshes were always put where we wouldn’t trip over them.
Meanwhile, down along the Blue Ridge Mountains and Parkway in North Carolina there are single digit temperatures, double digit wind speed and negative double digit wind chill.
I’m not saying that New England isn’t having winter early. But y’all aren’t getting all of the winter weather so far.
Be warm. Be safe.

It's shaping up to be a brutal winter.

Was last year considered a milder one for NH and the Whites?

Winter of 2017-2018 was fairly normal here in Western Maine. Here are pictures of my house here at 1300 feet in Western Maine. I had to shovel my roof three times last winter and will be getting metal roofing this coming spring to attempt for a roof loading solution.
