Troughing in summer, ridging in winter. Mother Nature can be cruel.

54F. I’m sure the summer steam bath is coming back hard, but yesterday was our 9th straight day of below normal departures (MVL and BTV). Last time the temperature hit 80F was 10 days ago, lows in the 40s and 50s. The well-advertised troughing seemed to actually come through for a 10-day stretch in mid-summer.
-
Best weekend of the summer so far. Not a drop of rain.
-
We enjoy this evening… right here right now. Wild flowers popping.
-
There’s not much left to begin with, ha. Interesting that even during this 7-8 day below normal stretch, VT has still seen some major flash flood events.
-
Warm day at 1k feet at 77F. Really dried out nicely across the region except the Cape where it should be humid for beach.
-
Made it all the way up to 74F under partly sunny skies today. Sort of a September vibe.
-
What a day. 73/52 currently. Dew has been 50-54F past couple hours.
-
All joking aside, this has been a decent week straight stretch of below normal. Spots are running -5F to -6F for a 7-day mean up this way. Last 7 day departures for the furnace that is BTV -5/-5/-6/-9/-7/-3/-5.
-
I see it now. It went from 68F to 60F. Must’ve been spiked from the “dew hour” this morning before drying?
-
68?
-
You guys are hilarious.
-
57F with really dense fog. MVL and MPV both M1/4 for visibility.
-
So wildly uncomfortable, but carry “status” weight… and oh boy are they heavy.
-
The path of the stronger vorticity and best height falls looked more over N.NY/CNE/NNE and into Gulf of Maine? Maybe a bit better dynamics north of RT 2?
-
Haha in all seriousness, it does show how people’s opinion on weather is shaped so strongly not by their backyard, but by how their backyard stacks up to areas around them. If it was 20” this month but others got 35” the same statements would be happening. The amount seems irrelevant, just how does it compares is the important part. It’s like if Ray gets a 24” snowstorm but towns around him get 36-38”, the event f*cking sucked lol.
-
Lol. Just imagine it’s 1875 and you have no idea what’s happening around you. You just know it was a wet month with 7” of rain and your corn is growing great. That rain gives you hope that you’ll have enough food to survive the winter.
-
I was thinking that radar might be contaminated a bit by yesterday, but even still. If the entire west slope of the Pico to Killington stretch of the Greens is getting 3-6” right now… those poor drainages going down towards Rutland are going to be destroyed.
-
That’s going to be a very big deal with like 3-5” in Killington peak flowing down to Rutland. Yikes.
-
Yikes, that’s like a repeat of Middlebury’s loop from yesterday.
-
Lol the comments say 5.75” in 2 hrs 20 minutes… of course Twitter hype translates to 6+ in under 2 hours.

Had about a half inch in the Stratus on my way out at 9am. Just the summer of soaking rains, haven’t watered the garden yet I don’t think… maybe early on in May?
-
Tyler Jankoski shared some good clips. Here's a screen shot; road turned into a waterfall, washing out the entire bank into the drainage. That's legit, you do not want to be in that or attempt to move through it. What a summer for flash floods across the northeast.
-
Bonkers, now 5-6+ inches on PWS in Middlebury. Radar showing a nice stripe of 5-7”. Looks pretty legit from ground truth.
