   That must have been a fabricated situation. According to TonyD Vermont has had agreeable weather before all the Co2 caused extremes since the 50s!

   Mike ,
   Maybe 😉 When I first moved up here, New Years Eve 2000 was about -20°f and tons of snow. Until this year no winter had come close on the temp front. Early 2000’s had a year with 6 snows of more than an inch before Thanksgiving.

   I wonder if the 1927 flood is the one that destroyed the pavilion and baseball field on the island under the NH bridge on the Connecticut river. After some flood it was never rebuilt.

     In Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas” it was 70 degrees in Vermont the day before Christmas. That was in the 1950s.

   What’s really important about that Vermont “flood of record” is that it appears to pale beside floods recorded in the sediment layers of lake beds there and in upstate New York from earlier millenniums:

     Thanks for this, Andy. I did my geology field camp at Boston University (a few geologic eons ago) and spent a good part of the summer in that neck of the woods.
