The last 9 days of minimum temperatures:
39, 32, 30, 38, 60, 56, 60, 62, 58.
Quite the whip-lash from crisp and frosty nights, to windows open all night.
Don't need heat or AC though.
Yeah, it's been a nice step down so far, but I agree that the upper level pattern looks to buck that trend in the long term. It wants to ridge out instead of the up and down of this month so far.
My feeling is that it isn't going to snow anyway, and it's getting darker earlier, so I enjoy the nice weather being outside as much as possible.
My energy bill appreciates it with no AC or Heat.
By early to mid November, I'm game for sustained normal to below weather for snowmaking. Have a full month+ though before it starts to matter. 48F and rain doesn't do much for me.
That sounds about right as we head into the lower sun angle time of year.
Mother Nature loves prolonging the sweet spot of temperatures in the 60-80F range as long as possible.
This link will take you to where you scroll through dew points on various models. You can even adjust to the model that fits your thoughts, unless there isn’t one

Yeah looks about the same up at Stowe. I had to go to BTV and back this morning, steady rain the whole way there and back.
Seems like most spots are in that third to half inch range. A few up to three quarters in the Underhill area.
The Adirondacks and high peaks area is awesome. Pure wilderness.
What elevation are you at? Gotta be decent when like the lowest elevations are like 1,300ft.
