It’s a vintage postcard, no date though

Close, it’s pushed by an engine.

It’s pushed (otherwise it kinda ruins the point) but it does have a hookup to be pulled for transport

I’m sure they haven’t had to use one of those in a long time because our winters are a joke now 😥

They also have more sophisticated and efficient flangers and spreaders.

Fun fact, we get more snow now than we did 100 years ago.

Yea, but I want the snow we used to get 20 years ago

Based on an Ebay listing for the postcard, this was from 1973. Very cool!

Thanks the image I had wasn’t darted. I figure late 60’s to early 80s based on the color processing

So.etims yes, sometimes no. Here is a handy chart I found. Now, this is for Burlington. I know these totals are lower than the rest of the state. I grew up in Chester, and there was always more snow there, than Burlington.

Careful now. You will anger the climate change deniers.

And it melts faster so ground covering snow is down despite more falling.

LOL...you should have seen it in the 60's and 70's!!! I remember a snowstorm in 69 where we literally had to dig our way out of our house in Malletts Bay. It was wild man.
I don't think you'll ever see snow like that again in Vermont.

You could probably clear tracks with a push broom now.
