I was wondering what was up with the 34 low forecast last night.. We were 52 at the time and the temp only went up.. Guess there were major differences within a short distance.

Yep.

Finally mixed out here, now 50.4 and summery.

Went to bed to 32°. Didn’t expect to wake up to 51°. 

lol still 37 here

Another extreme squall in progress.

I wish it had been dark. Squalls are so much more fun at night, slowly watching distant lights dim out as visibility drops. I really miss the warm glow of snow lit by sodium streetlights. Color temps above 3500k outside at night just make me irrationally angry.

Squall Report Card

  A+, intense, 41mph
   
• Snow
  A+, ultra low visibility, hard to breathe when facing the wind.
   
• Duration
  D. It was half over by the time I found my jacket and headed out onto the stormdeck.
   
• Comments
  Most interesting 120 seconds of the year.

Anxiously awaiting my damaging squalls.

what was it?

Nice gusty squall. Sleet, rain and a few slushballs.

ok that was more interesting than anything that happened last summer 

Looks like a summer storm is about to blow. Dark ominous clouds. Very nice. 

Gold finches are starting to get some summer colors.

Anyone here ski at Gunstock? Curious what the opinions are.

Lots of local drama the last few months over the huge expansions proposed.

3.5" of brutally heavy snow.

Getting alternating bursts of snow and rain now.

Wow, after snowmist all day, the air is suddenly thick with big fluffy cottonballs.

I've been dumping my station data from WU into a mysql database to make gathering fun stats easier. I meant to do this in 2005 but I've been busy.

Big thanks to wunderground for making this as difficult as possible and for losing all the data before 2008.

BTV’s version…

Big lolz at the 9.5" for Laconia. That goes beyond slant sticking and into the realm of horizontal sticking.

Freezing drizzle in progress.

About 1" of sleet. 

Decent amount of glazing.... enough to sag the white pine limbs a little.

Noisy sleet hitting the windows with a couple wet flakes mixed in.

The Ensembles have been pretty damn consistent for 3 days now.

12z GEFS 6"+ probabilities.  BUF to BTV to BML steady as she goes.

I have somewhat unrealistic dreams where a 1000 mile wide and 200 mile deep derecho comes at me from the northwest and the last radar frame I see before my roof peels off looks a lot like this.

The lake must be frozen over pretty good. Good radiational cooling now.

Yep... it's actually frozen all the way up the channel to the bridge. Been quite a while since that happened.

-8.1

Slightly more brutal than expected.

Man oh man, just had two back to back gusts that had me moving to the side of the house furthest from the trees. It's just roaring. Cranked up the heat just in case.

Overall lame storm but with a sweet grand finale. B-
