Average time frame for first snow in northern NE.

[dixiejarhead]

Anyone know about when the first real snow occurs? Just trying to plan out things. We had hoped for a summer move to Vermont, but we are stuck with next week timeframe.

October? November? White Christmas?

What say you?

I have been in that area and usually see snow thanksgiving to first week in December

The clock is already ticking.

Although not typical, anything is possible weather-wise here http://www.celebrateboston.com/disasters/year-without-a-summer.htm.

F the snow BUT bring on Hockey, Hockey, Hockey......... Whooooo!

 

[FrugalFannie]

anywhere from July through April for first snow. LOL

New England has fall for only around a month. Otherwise, it's just summer directly into winter.

The only thing predictable about weather in new england is that it is very unpredictable.

An remembah, if you dont like the wethah, moove!

It usually holds out til after halloween. last couple years have been pretty light until january. but this is new england. up north will be more wintery. if you're not used to it, take extra care driving.

Don't know about Maine but we were at Jay Peak in VT. one Columbus Day a few years back and were getting heavy wet snow and windy conditions.

Up north in the border areas, a dusting of snow in October isn't unusual, sometimes up to an inch or two.

But that doesn't really count as snow up here, and it will disappear in a couple of days. You'll have several snowy days that are worth plowing in November, not much in early December, and it really gets going around Christmas. February is the heaviest snow month.

First snow, or first snow that hangs around. Maine will sometimes get a dusting in Sept/Oct, but it's gone the next day or two. Just get a set of winter tires. I suggest Blizzaks, they treated me well without needing studs in the mountains of Maine. Put them on late October and don't sweat it.

Don't listen to the snowtire fanboys.
If you don't have these
You WILL DIE!

Worry more about mud season.

You'll want to purchase as many skidoo snowmobiles you can afford promptly after arriving. Come spring time, you'll want a can am outlander ATV and maybe even a commander sxs. Toys toys toys!

But but that will eat into the gun budget!!! lol!!! we plan on at least one used snowmobile if feasible. May have to wait until next year with a brand new home and all that we will need to establish there.... so much to do... but I am happy to be in your backyard!

There is no way to accurately predict this this far out.. Sometimes first snow is in December, sometimes November.. we even have had nor'easters late october.

 

[NeverMiss]

I was driving up near the Mt. Washington auto road in September one time in a snow shower...

 

[Asaltweapon]

Late Oct to any time in Nov is the norm for dustings up to about 6 inches but as said it doesn't hang around for long but the water and cold help freeze the ground tight and that makes for great trails. A dumping of snow on unfrozen ground sucks for the driveway and dirt roads as well.

My Parents live in NEK (northeast kingdom) Vermont. The first coating up to maybe 1-2" of snow is OFTEN before the end of October. IMO any time after the 3rd week of October or so, anything can happen.

 

[KBCraig]

Buy ATVs in October and snow machines in May. That's when people are selling one to buy the other, so you can get better deals.

 

[GaryO]

I used to do a good amount of skiing in November in Vermont.

 

[houdini]

when it snows you will know

 

[OutdoorFanatic]

Yeah, thanksgiving week, 2" or so normal and I've been in Pittsburg NH. on Thanksgiving and they were snowmobiling.

 

[ThePreBanMan]

Don't know what part of VT you'll be moving to - but VT gets a LOT of snow. Every other car on the road is a Subaru. Beautiful state. But man - expect several feet on the ground from pretty much Dec until late March. If buying a house get a roof rake.

Over the last 4 years, I've seen snow as early as the week before Samhain (Halloween) on the App Gap. Down lower, figure you've got another week... maybe.

My Hakkapellitas go on at Samhain and come off at Beltane. That USUALLY has me covered.
