That should be my average mid-summer low . We still haven’t gotten into the 40s. 61/54 and 60/51 days. Rain and clouds. Still can’t get those mins down.

Thanks T-Blizz!

Locally here… Since May 1st: +9 or greater departure days… 34 (max of +18) -9 or lower departure days… 1 (-9) That should sort of sum up where we are at, haha.

Yesterday’s -9 departure locally at MVL was the lowest negative departure day since April 25th. We haven’t see this type of relative cold to climo in almost 4 months!

Ohhh so that’s why this ULL came… it was your vacation. Makes sense now, you’ve had some tough ones over the years.

How far are you from BOS? *I honestly don’t know so it’s not a loaded question lol. Are you like the 128 belt?

It’s wild that we open for skiing in like 90 days. Well, maybe 105 days at +4 baseline, ha. It all goes by so fast.

So scarred by winter that every other type of weather that’s not 85/70 is catching all sorts of stay bullets . It’ll be warm again soon.

Man this place loses its mind over temperatures more than any other weather … hot, no cold, no it’s torch, it’s enjoyable, it’s cool, you have no idea, no you have no idea… We’ve come a long way over the decades.

51F at the office and 42F at the picnic tables. Its been warmer on some Christmas Eve’s recently.

Good point on the higher diurnal range being drier and a different vibe.

I jumped the gun there for you, but it’s coming. Open ‘em up and air it out later tonight. I may be going a bit wild , but it’s nice to see the atmosphere can do something other than humid/warm again as the seasonal change fires one across the bow. Don’t like the waning sunlight though.

That's fukking wild. It does dip below normal a few times, but just by a couple/few degrees. Getting -5 on the low is once a month... while then on the positive side it goes back up to +10 to +15 at least excuse possible. It's not like the highs haven't been above normal either, but August maxes have had those below normal rainy days. The overnight temperatures are driving the bus here. Top graph led to a +5 type month and bottom is +3 so far.

If the temperature during this stretch dips below 47F, it'll be the coolest reading in two months here. It still blows my mind that our mid-summer normal minimum temperature is in the low-50s and it has gotten below 50F exactly twice (49F and 47) since JUNE! Like only twice in 7 weeks has the low temperature gotten 5 degrees below normal.

Taste it.

See I think doing the exact same thing we have for the past two months is boring AF. The high excitement and adrenaline rush of 82/66 has worn off.

Nice change of pace, right?

Into the 50s by 7pm. What planet is this?

I just go by the mean temperatures as that’s the gold standard metric for temps and how it affects the natural environment. If the average temperature is 5 degrees above the new warm baseline, the natural environment is torching… how it affects growing seasons, habitats, etc. Don’t care how it gets there necessarily. And I mean we joke about nighttime mins… but no one had A/C here 15 years ago. Literally no one. It gets down to 52F on average like the min says, everyone is fine windows open. We now sit like 60-65F+ at night and everyone has A/C. The torch has impacts.

I feel like I relate to you every time you post something about the CON mins back in the day, lol. Like looking at an AVERAGE min of 53F would make one believe half the nights should be below that. Yesterday was a great example of how we are torching and getting these departures. Average is 77/53. Actual was 70/65. Most locations graded below normal yesterday. But we were +3 in the means. -7 max and +12 min. Prime example of how our monthly departures are so high, even when it’s “cool” it’s warm. MVL…

It is all dew driven here. If dews are elevated, it’s impossible for us to not be above normal.

MVL ASOS. Montpelier… +2.7 St Johnsbury… +3.0 Mountain valley sites are torched.

We are getting destroyed on overnight mins in the radiational spots up here. Average summer lows of like 52-54F just getting torched. If dews aren’t in the 50s, we are going to put up big departures. BTV is +1.6 without radiational cooling baked in.

+3.1 here.
