You may want to not tell folks or else the dew chasers will descend on your location.

My memory is that years ago (80s or early 90s) a small town in Southern New Jersey claimed to have recorded 25 inches in 5 hours when a Tstorm just sat over it. I have been unable to have found any mention of it when I have searched so my memory could be wrong. Edit: Weather.com claims NJ record is 14.8 inches in 24 hours so it could be the report was wrong, never verified, or my memory is off or all three. https://weather.com/news/climate/news/extreme-rainfall-precipitation-recorded-50-states

Nice ten minute downpour just now. Grass very happy. Weeds happier.

About 2/3 of an inch here based on the two closest stations. Kinda humid now, dew is 65 which feels sticky after the past few days.

I would assume that at this point the hotel would include the expected $600 fee in the contract for the event, if they were not already doing so. If customer doesn't agree to pay the fee, no event.

Then there is the wind to consider. When we lived in Peacham, the coldest night we had was right after a frontal passage and the wind was up. It prevented the cold air just sinking below us like it would on calm nights. We quickly got to about to -28. On a calm morning, we would often be 7 to 10f warmer than just half mile away where the elevation flattened out about 300' lower than our house. So many variables. edit: and so many typos

For those of you concerned by the cool morning, rest assured that the Euro and GFS are in agreement of no snow the next 10 days. While I have not tracked the GFS performance in this regard, Euro was dead on re July snowfall. It is on a roll!

Probably off base but are they moths with wings closed?

No worries, seemed more fun then saying "bump"

When we lived in Bethlehem, there was some controversy in town because a nice old lady in town was baking brownies and leaving them out for the bears. They developed a tremendous sweet tooth and were pests around town for awhile. It took a lot of persuading to get her to stop.

Those are Great North Woods Murder Cicadas. They emerge every 17 years and have been known to each through screen windows in their prey. They prefer to feed on roadkill, meterologists and small dogs. In 1952, the sky darkened over Buxton and they were seen devouring a cocker spaniel in less that 4 minutes, leaving behind only its collar. RIP Whiskey.

52f here. A couple of days ago it felt like maybe the back of summer had been broken. It definitely seems that way now. Chamber weather for days to come. Soon the leaves will need to be peeped at, I will get in a panic to get outdoor chores down prior to the freeze up, the GFS will flip from having a 942 hurricane at the end of every run to having a blizzard coming just inside the benchmark to finish each cycle, and someone will set up a thread for this year's Grinch storm.

Don't forget the snow Sandy left in WV.

Looks like it was at a Fireworks plant.

That would probably cause damage in Tolland.

So Alabama is safe? Fake news!

After abandoning the sweater look, Powder Freak started wearing 70's suits and was elected mayor of Amity- which means friendship.

Does the moose not know the need to have a mask while hiking for when you need to share the trail? Good thing you socially distanced yourself.

Yeah, I had a typo. I put "not" instead of "now". Digger used to be a place where the comments were helpful and often included people who were involved in the story or policy makers. Then the CAX crowd moved in. For a paper with a leftist slant, the comments had a very right wing slant. It was rather incongruous.

My favorite one is the person who moved here to get away from people from out of state. Kettle meet pot. In all seriousness, why do you check those pages? It just seems depressing and angering. Every now and then I would read the WCAX comments and quickly be reminded at how nasty the world can be. They shut down the comment eventually and those folks moved to VT Digger who have now shut their comments. It is brutal but is sometimes just the same ten names over and over. Enjoy your summer and enjoy Killington and stay off Facebook.

I was in Peacham that season. We ended up with 41" and the largest was on 12/29 with 5.5 inches. The breakdown was: 2015-16 Biggest 12/29 5.5 first, 10/17 last 5/16 Oct- .5 Nov. .5 Dec 7.0 Jan 11.0 Feb: 13.4 Mch 3.7 Apr 4.7 May .2 Total: 41.0 The other years in Peacham where I tracked seasonal totals were: 2011-12 76.0 2012-13 102.2 2013-2014 total 105.0 2014-15- Total: 111.6

Was it visible with the naked eye or did you use binoculars?

Consider parts of the Champlain Valley as it does not retain snow compared to the rest of Vermont. You can observe this for a bit as you visit your daughter.

Trees would indicate it is at least a few months old

Live free or die. Worst I have ever had it was the summer of 03. We were living in W. Warwick RI at the time. The neighborhood sounded almost like a warzone on July 4. The dogs were manic. Making it hard to understand was that we lived about 4 blocks from the Station Nightclub and the fire had just been about 4 months earlier. Only having one neighbor within a half a mile has lessened this issue.
