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.
-
See if that trailing cell can get in there or will it slink south.
-
65/61 last observation at Middlebury but looks like wherever the airfield is out of the heavy rain. Only showing 0.32”. Up to 4.10” for local max and still going.
-
Yeah radar just updated and every new scan is like another half inch. Up to 4” max now on radar. That area with the Otter Creek can get crushed in FF. It’s gotta be pretty solid with 2-4” in 90 minutes.

Middlebury washing away

DD… Dew Defender or Dock Donkey?
-
Yeah hasn’t been super nice. Got 0.05” here, just enough to wet the ground really.
-
75/60 Hoping we can survive this uncomfortableness.

How do we not get this in January or February? Just deep ULL's digging into the lakes and translating eastward. Very little chance of suppression depression progged in the pattern 7-10 days out... just moisture streaming northward in front of the ULL; cool and crisp just west of the battle grown between the trough and rising heights to the east. 52F latest OB at MVL (51F latest PWS) currently this evening. B-Team radiator as HIE, BML, SLK have dipped into the upper 40s.
-
You’re insufferable with this stuff in the summer . It’s like discussing favorite sports teams instead of the weather. Still have to get past the 10-12th or so on EPS and GEFS. There’s another 10 days or so before more wholesale changes start taking place. Probably a couple dewy days mixed in ahead of FROPAs until then… but then looks like heights rise along NE coast and Maritimes which gets us into a more consistently humid pattern.
-
This looks more like the set-ups from July. Deeper trough, and ridging along the coast and maritimes. Much different than DIT's "identical" post yesterday that had lower heights stretched straight across the north. And not shockingly that upper level pattern is translating to +RN in the northeast at that time.
-
Just remember there’s a difference between those who point out flaws in some of the analysis, and not thinking it will get humid again. Getting humid is very easy in this climate, it’s going to happen in August and September for periods of time.
-
14.5" here. The big high-end VT flood event covered almost half of that. Even without that event, there was another 8+" of rainfall scattered about the month.
-
Did get to the part of the summer where I started looking at some of the recent shots from previous seasons. Can't wait for that Spine crusher.
-
That's a great lineup, pretty much covers it all. Doesn't the Beast 365 Pass at Killington include the IKON/Alterra mountains too? So you have basically covered all of the mountains in Vermont. And those combined passes all cost less than what just a single AIG Stowe pass used to cost, ha ha.
