A Review of Snow Conditions and Winter Climate Near Burlington and Underhill, Vermont.

Abstract

The review provides information on the winter environment near Camp Ethan Allen in northeastern Vermont. In particular, monthly summaries of the frequency, intensity, and water content of snowfall events are presented. Additional information on air-temperature, wind and snow depth for the region is also provided. The data for this summary were obtained from: (a) daily snow cover and weather observations made at the Proctor Maple Research Farm at Underhill, Vermont, and (b) hourly meteorological measurements made at Burlington Airport, Vermont. The Underhill site is a field research station operated by the Botany Department of the University of Vermont under the direction of Professors M. F. Morselli and F. M. Laing. Twelve years (1968-1979) of snowfall and snow depth data were provided by Lynn Whalen of the Botany Department. The climate summaries for Burlington Airport are published by the U.S. National Weather Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Asheville, North Carolina.
