Just had a couple of VT Water Search and Rescue vehicles pass me on Rte 100 south of Stowe. They were zooming north with sirens on.

Station right around the corner from my house reporting just shy of 3" between 6 am and 7:30 this morning. Rest of area seems to be 1 to 1.5 in that time frame. https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KVTNORWI10 First good drink in 3 weeks.

Wasn't July 4, 2015 colder than Christmas Day 2015?

Yeah but did they install? What are the dews?

59 to start the day, had the windows open all night, wonderful for sleeping! House is cooled back down.

Showers have come through here, maybe some more later too. Down to 72. Humid still but summer's back is broken.

Does that say 102 by Pawtucket/Central Falls or is that a trick of the eye?

KLEB already at 90 at 10 am. 8F ahead of yesterday when they topped out at 99. https://forecast.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KLEB.html

In-depth, focused discussion of the weather of New England based on formal education, practical experience, local knowledge, and cutting-edge model interpretation mixed with up-to-the-second observations of current conditions. Nothing else.

Friday was a nice display of the compaction and drainage issues I mentioned recently about why I am having trouble maintaining grass in the area below.

Stowe this morning:

Only 14? Up here we are at 25 weeks and counting after this last go round. https://www.wcax.com/2025/06/06/almost-25-wet-weekends-row-is-that-record/

I am both curious to know what Google search terms lead to this picture being found and at the same time afraid to know what those terms were.

We used to have a neighbor that did this and he usually did it right as it was getting dark/ bed time for our kid back then. We assumed he did it to get an hour away from his wife.

This spot looks like they had to reset their gauge early 3.82 today after 2.05 yesterday https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KVTTOWNS25/graph/2025-06-7/2025-06-7/daily
