When was the last time you personally went swimming? Hawaii trip? That post sounds like asking AI to write a country song.

Stay safe everyone, sounds pretty rough out there by some of these posts.

Which is always why I don’t get why Kev fights it so hard. They are coming back. It ebbs and flows. Deal with it. -Cosgrove

Did it not rain when it was humid? So many humid days up here wasted with rain this year.

48F and fast moving showers at the picnic tables. Chilly day up high.

56/55 at local PWS, and MVL at 57/55. Windows open and chilly. Average low is 54F… it continues to be crazy that 50s should be normal this time of year. This feels like a cold night.

Had a few showers earlier but now turning almost squally in nature. Cold pool rains as the ULL vort max swings in. High of 74F and it felt pretty warm during some of the sunny breaks. Now 63F. We all know the ULL climo. I don’t think I’ve watered the garden once this entire summer season.

BTV AFD mentioning snow levels this morning had me wondering if I opened the right AFD . A strip of lake-effect clouds has been able to reach the North Country and it should remain there for the rest of the night. Even though the airmass is cold enough to make lake-effect, the lowest the snow levels will drop will be around 7,500 ft, so they will still be a couple thousand feet above the highest peaks. The coldest air aloft will move through late in the day today and into this evening. Combined with diurnal heating, scattered to numerous showers will develop across the region, particularly over northern areas. A few thundershowers are possible and the heaviest showers could contain pea sized hail.

Cold pool precipitation pattern… lake effect rain and orographics. ULL moving through type precip pattern the next few days. Check the boilers.

I haven’t seen one post mention autumn or fall…. except for every single one of DIT’s. It feels like every time someone says, “Might be a nice stretch of warm weather but low dews”… one person reads it as “Time to get your boiler it’s annual inspection, highs in the 40s coming.”

Absolutely glorious up here. 74/53, a breeze and puffy Cu.

Yeah I can’t figure out the multiple water spouts? But it’s been going around today so assume it’s legit.

Photo by Sam Wear on Lake Champlain yesterday… pretty wild.

There’s 100% a downslope component. The RT 100 corridor in the valley mixed out the best locally between Waterbury-Stowe-Morrisville. Downsloped off the Worcester Range (3,000-3,600 feet ridgelines) and elevated piedmont across eastern VT. The VT side of the Champlain Valley was the wind “jackpot”… downslopes off the Green Mtn Spine and funnels up the valley at the same time. Strong southerly LLJ mixes down in the CPV more than any other locations.

From Jankoski... he's one of the best locally. He gets the passion. Important to note this is outages in the local NBC viewing area. There are a lot more power outages in NY as a whole. We missed the flooding, but another hazard filled the void (wind).

I’ve been looking for obs or photos, can’t find much though I have no doubt it’s out there. They have to be getting smoked.

Why wait that long? Today was nice, not boring. Some rain, warm sector coming through and turning more tropical, gusts of 40-50mph in a humid environment for a couple hours this evening… felt like a tropical storm. Lots of power outages and damage, especially west of the mountains and through the Champlain Valley with 60mph winds and wet soils turning trees over. Frame grab from a sh*tty/blurry zoomed-in video, but Stowe Village had some damage on Main Street. I can’t believe we didn’t lose power here to be honest, but saw 32% of town was out. Guess enough white pines have been taken out in past events that we can take these winds now on our line.

Also interesting it was in the 60s and a "chilly" rain prior to 12pm... all afternoon was low-70s and now BTV just popped 81F at 7:30pm.

Very windy, I’m fairly impressed. BTV gusting over 60mph now. METAR KBTV 092315Z AUTO 19030G53KT MVL at 48mph. 40-50mph here sounds right. It’s really roaring. Can hear wood cracking in the forest during the strongest gusts. METAR KMVL 092255Z AUTO 18024G42KT

We’ve got damage. Tree down out back. MVL to 44 mph. BTV to 49 mph.

Received about an inch and a half last night. Of course the early rain overperformed. The initial warm air/moisture advection and associated anticyclonic jet over southern Canada has over produced rainfall amounts across portions of northern/central VT this morning. Radar and obs indicate an axis of 1.0 to 1.5" with localized amounts near 2.0" already from eastern Addison County into the MPV/Barre area toward St Jay. Already noted a 3.5 foot rise on the Mad at Moretown this morning. Elsewhere, rainfall has generally been under an inch.

Just a synoptic rainy evening up here. Its chilly. This isn’t a warm tropical rain. Feels more cold season type stratiform rain in this initial burst. In the upper 50s with steady rain. Warm sector/theta-e blast should move through tomorrow, before cooler air returns over the weekend.

Ha, back in the days when Pete would hit 89F at 1400ft and say it’s been “cool” while the departures were the same +8 as everywhere else.

Thats my #1 bucket list spot. Just to see the Japanese culture mixed with ski culture… add in insane snowfall with the best terrain/consistent pitch and incredible tree-skiing… I’m jealous here.
