39F to 67F by 9:40am. Fast recovery.

Those plumes from the rivers can go a long way… like when we have a good flooding event you’ll have folks out motoring around in boats thinking it’s nice, clear open water and run into a plume filled with debris and whole trees floating around in the lake. Nothing like hitting a tree trunk at 40mph in a boat out in the middle of no where.

Ha, not sure that's what that is. Lake Champlain isn't the cleanest at all, but that looks like sediment. Had 1-2" of rain over the weekend and sharply elevated rivers, probably a sediment plume flushed out from one of the larger rivers? Winnoski or Lamoille rivers need to be emptying around there somewhere depending on how he took off.

Yeah nothing remotely close to haze up here. Crystal clear low dew blue.

It’s like a bear safari around here. This guy was just chilling on the shoulder grazing away this morning. Much bigger than the one last night.

I always wondered if the large scale effort to eradicate it here led to it spreading even faster. It probably did. There used to be a group of landowners with like machetes walking along the river through Stowe hacking the stuff down and collecting it. Probably just led to it being washed downstream even faster or moved somewhere else.

Ha, I get 2 minutes of peas yesterday and I’m super excited. Denver is like, hold my beer. Clearing 8-10” of hail. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZD5k9YCv2F/?igsh=bTRxaW93OHF1d3Jp

We used to have people cutting it and ripping it out of the ground each summer along the river but it was a losing battle. Now it’s just taken over all across the banks for like 5 miles.

Dude it’s out of control along the river banks here.

Another day, another weird looking dog wandering around. Four times in two weeks I’ve run into them. I think it’s two different bears, twice. This one is younger, probably first year or two without mom.

Ground level.

66F and sunny. Sun helps this time of year.

We rained overnight in the 40s, then cleared out as it moved south. Feels sort of like Saturday. Nasty when everyone was asleep, then by 8am it was breaking blue.

No, 69F is today’s 1,100ft average based on MPV norms. BTV is 74F. In another few days it ticks up to 70-75F.

Need some summer to go along with this long daylight. I’d take consistent 70s at this point.
