It reminded me of darkness… or shortening days… like need to get home to watch football with a fire lol. Weird feels.

High of 73F in the valley. Dew of 52F. Mid-50s and windy up high. Can almost smell the Pumpkin Spice on the breeze… but it feels too early to be honest. Giving that like Sept/Oct afternoon vibe up here but still all green.

Heard tomorrow is the last sunset at 8pm or later in Stowe until May 6th. Sun is descending. Hate it… absolutely love the late light and being outside until 9pm.

Looks like Day 10 they are starting to bring ridging in… 12z GEFS more than the 00z EPS.

That’s all we can do, use the models and discuss them. Refreshing to discuss them even, ha.

70/54 Breezy. Almost a bit too chilly to be honest. Never had these days in July.

How did Back to School shopping disco end up with DIT describing Dendrite as child trying on clothes nude and zipping their junk up? 66/55 with some showers moving through.

Dude, now you’re talking. How do you know you went to school in the 90s? Ha.

64/55 Time to buy those composition notebooks kids.

That’s insane. 3.37” in August here and 23” same time frame. The persistent SSE low level wind flow ahead of these systems has really favored the SE sides of the general terrain uplift. You guys in eastern VT really did very well. Convective precip loves the hills/topography in eastern VT coming out of the CT River Valley. ORH Hills and Berkshires too.

All joking aside, I do get some of Kev’s point about dews staying up even if it’s not warm. It is no where near the July heat and humidity combo (with the QPF/water)… but it seems to have a surge of Td ahead of each FROPA. Went out for pizza tonight and coming home It’s chilly out and wet, but a humid chilly? If that’s even a thing. 61-62F temps past hour but the dews are right there with it. Looks pretty humid from HFD to BOS. I like charts and data, and it is upper 60s to near 70F dews at the ASOS in SE New England.

Torrential rain. 61.5/61.3.

Reality is somewhere in the middle of the hyperbole. Always dangerous to try to speak in absolutes with weather. What hasn’t happened is a long wave pattern mimicking July in stability for a period of weeks on end.

There’s a COC joke in here somewhere…

It’s true, weather is more of a vibe than a science. It can be something different to each of us. You just do you.

lol even you can’t actually believe what you write on here.

It’s scatter shot at this point between adjacent NY and New England for heavy rain threats. The amount of 14-24” water totals since June 1st stretches from Canada to the South Coast of CT. When it wants to precipitate, there is plenty of upper level assistance. It rains hard. In short duration time spans. Everything aloft has been slightly further east than July, the flooder was more towards the coast in this past event.

We’ll see ridging from Edmonton to Nova Scotia in Winter.

GFS OP still dropping troughs in through the 20th. Persistent.

Yeah there’s a full scale flip in there. That ending looks unlike anything yet this summer, no trough anywhere from Upper Midwest to NE… all ridging.

Happy Birthday dude.

Feels like fall/winter dynamics. Irrelevant but the Gondola up here is on wind hold for WNW winds of up to 65mph at 4,000ft. Looks like MWN gusting to 80mph. Very rare to get that wind speed in the summer months up here to impact operations, that’s a winter thing. Shows sort of where the atmosphere is right now.

Some wind damage out of the old-school Snow Ridge on the Tug.

Reminiscing about model analysis and meteorological discussion on the forum . Added just under 0.40” today… for a two-day total 2.08”.

Phil and Stein got a house together. Edit: Dammit TanBlizz beat me to the Stein comment immediately.
