It’s his first time here. It takes special social awareness skills to read the room.

Is DIT really 61/54 right now at 4pm? Yikes. 73/53 up here.

All I could think about was, hey it’s hot and I’m uncomfortable… but imagine having to perform with high energy for two hours straight in HI of 100F. Dude was using a towel to dry himself after each song. Major props for performing in that.

What's interesting though is that it is still plenty cold enough to snow at those departures. It gets close, but it's just cold enough in the MVL climate. Dec '23... +7.8 (37/24, mean temp of 31F) Jan '24... +8.1 (30/17, mean temp of 23F) Feb '24... +8.4 (37/15, mean temp of 26F) Average... +8.1 So despite being +8... the climate is such that it is still salvageable for snowfall as the mean temps are all below freezing. What's crazy to me is a +8 in January is still a solid 30/17 month that averages out well below freezing. Add in elevation and the mountains are certainly still cold enough for snowfall even at those departures. However, I go look at BTV, which was averaging around +6 to +7 during that time, and their mean temperatures show a more difficult to snow profile. Which likely fits with a sharper low level gradient that winter.

MVL had two back-to-back winters of really high departures. Though '23 - '24 took the cake. MVL ASOS departures... Dec '22... +5 Jan '23... +10.7 Feb '23... +4.7 Average... +6.8 Then... Dec '23... +7.8 Jan '24... +8.1 Feb '24... +8.4 Average... +8.1 Those '23 - '24 departures are so consistent for 3 straight months.

Wife and I went on Monday night (her idea, of course). She’s a big Hozier fan. It was pretty rough. But survivable lol.

Any specific station or you mean the entire state as a whole?

Your reactions to any posts that aren't stoking hype for the hottest weather mankind has ever seen are funny. It comes off like a stoner who's high is getting ruined . Every summer is warm these years. And humid. You'll get your fix and plenty of it.

That 51F temp was the reading that caused the 5-min average to plummet after the 95F reading lol.

The 5-min are super consistent.

Dews are finally dropping... from 63F to 55 in the past couple hours. You can feel the relief finally. 82/55 now. Didn't realize the dews were in the upper 30s in parts of Maine, wow. What a gradient.

You sound disappointed.

Yeah the dews stand out. No real change. If it was mixing out, and 10-15F temp changes in short order, you'd think you'd see at least 5-8 dew changes? I just think when we saw PBG up here do a 15 degree increase to 100F, the dew plummeted with the temp change.

1 minute. 1:54pm... 95F 1:55pm... 84F

Back down to 81F. That's a swing. What happened from 1:40pm to 1:43pm? And then 1:54pm to 1:55pm.

Ahh I missed the time stamp. @dendrite also scared me as I was like I wasn’t aware I was paying for tier 2 . I was like those sneaky bastards, checking my account lol.

Here’s a RadarScope question for you… Why do all the RadarScope temperature observations seem way off? Any idea? They are much higher than ambient temp but yet lower than the HI. It has LEB at 107F, CON 104F, etc. But the HI are higher than that, and max temps lower?

What are 5-minute ones you see on these pages? I always get this stuff confused. I’m with Jerry in not trusting the 5-min data spikes. But where are the official 1-min obs? https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=Kizg

A lot of people enjoy all seasons. The novelty of big heat and big cold are both fun to see.

Good lord dude lol.

Yeah super cool. Impressive but awesome mesoscale stuff that makes thermodynamic sense. Just mixed it right out coming down the Adk east slope into the Champlain Valley.

Check out Plattsburgh (PBG) across the Lake from BTV… first 100F reading in 50 years. However, the most impressive thing so far is that Plattsburgh reached 100 degrees, the first time in exactly 50 years. They must be downsloping and mixing out off the east slope of the Adirondacks. They were 91/75… then something happened and they shot up to 100/65. Lost the dews but gained the temperature. Heat index remained about the same in the 102-104F range.

I’ve found mine runs 1-2F warm. Like a 98F, I’m thinking 96-97F. My old SUV seemed spot on, like oddly spot on with obs. The MVL ASOS is like 100 feet off RT 100 so it was always easy to check when driving by.

Ha, that I-93 pavement. Though it matches with KCON at 97/74 in the 5-min data.

Just drove past CON on I-93 and the car thermometer was bouncing 95-98F. Heading to Boston for the night.
