It has reopened https://www.vermontpublic.org/live-updates/vermont-experiencing-significant-flash-flooding#interstate-89-reopens-in-montpelier-area

from that article is an shot of Montpelier this morning:

I haven't even used fans yet. (granted if I used the window fan it would just suck in the constant rain or the smoke when it is not raining)

Thanks. Power was restored around 1am. I am thankful that my hassles are minor compared to what a lot of other folks have been dealing with.

Office is thankfully shut today as every road I would take to possibly take to get into Hyde Park is closed or blocked by other closed roads. We lost power beginning around 8:30. It looks like the waters in our back yard have receded. I no longer have a massive collection of waterfalls tearing through my raised beds. It will take a while for the big rivers to recede. Closest /Davis went offline with the power outage. At the time it had 4.30 on the day and 5.35 for the event. Next closest station had .15 after the power went out.

I think the issue is just north/ west of the exit. (where the red marker is. There is a stream that comes down from the North. This morning it was not that far below the northbound side. By midday, the NB side was down to one lane due to damage. They close at the exit to offload. But RTE 2 in that area has also been closed at times today.

One of those rare occasions where the video of that scene does not look as bad as the photo. Someone posted the video higher in the thread

No but their office is just a few buildings away.

Closed the office early. Found an alternate route home though the water was to the road in some spots. Home now. Back hill is just a series of waterfalls through my raised beds. 3.09 since midnight, 4.14 total, 14.83 since the start of June.

Got to the office in Hyde Park. Unsure if I will have to end up sleeping here. Looks like 100 in Waterbury will go under water near Ben and Jerrys if we get much more. Saw one spot in Middlesex where the water could come onto I89.

Huge downpour for about 10 minutes here in Hyde Park. Storms popping all over the area has meant thunder for the past hour or so..

and now , not as obvious, high ground

Even better

In case anyone is wondering where the river valleys are up here:

8.46 inches on the month on the station around the corner. https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KVTNORWI24/graph/2023-06-30/2023-06-30/monthly

https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=BTV&issuedby=BTV&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1 As of 1045 AM EDT Sunday...As indicated in the last AFD, we have now seen wildfire smoke seep southward into northern New York and northern Vermont on light northerly winds. So as fog lifted and low clouds dissipated, skies have remained overcast consistent with hazy conditions. The lower visibilities associated with near surface smoke are filling in as well, evident in area webcams at places such as Alburgh and Plattsburgh. Rainfall isn`t expected to be as widespread today given the best forcing will remain south of the forecast area in the form of a decaying upper level low across Pennsylvania. This tiny feature will have quite an interesting impact of us today as it should allow for some scattered showers and thunderstorms across the southern half of Vermont while also ushering in smoke from Canadian wildfires across northern Vermont and northern New York this afternoon. The location of the decaying low to our south will switch our surface winds to the north across northern Vermont and northern New York this afternoon. Taking a look at air quality sensors across Canada, there are high concentrations of the PM 2.5 which will advect into the region this afternoon under these northerly winds. We have been in contact with state partners and will likely be issuing an air quality alert for northern counties.

Nothing quite like an early morning summer run before the heat kicks in

Looks like there was some flooding in this area (NH side of river) over the weekend: https://www.wcax.com/2023/06/20/weekend-flooding-causes-damage-upper-valley-towns/

1.32 today so far, over 5 inches for the month. https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KVTNORWI24 Station is just around the corner from our place.

Looks like another shower popped at the house. 1.67 now.

1.5 at the station closest to my house

.6 here so far.
