The vegetation would love a month's worth of rain in a week, ha.

This is through 6z Monday. Overall looks Steiny through Tuesday night.

For sure… but if you are going on camera for the news, you’re probably putting a few rain drops on the extended map. Maybe it turns out to be nice weather instead, but one could make a generalized forecast right now that some rainfall is likely happening along the east coast.

Ok, what’s the excuse now? You’ve got every model showing a multi-day wet period. For the record I’m not saying 3-5” of rain is falling but there seems to be a high probability of a multi-day period of clouds and occasional water.

Yeah that’s not even close to 12z’s look. Sort of spares SE MA but that’s just pumping moisture on SE flow for days.

Its going to be funny when the GFS shows 7” of QPF but can’t post it because we decided to play the game .

Weren’t we all told to ignore that model? Just trying to follow directions.

Just showing what the models have. We know every time a model shows rain you will disagree, but overall the data points to a wet period. Maybe it’ll revert back to your Stein fetish.

Tossing the GFS... looks pretty wet going forward on the others.

38F, some sun and gusty NW wind. Nice crisp autumn air mass after summer. Leaves should be changing soon.

Keeps mixing out after trying to radiate… back up to 72F. METAR KMVL 300115Z AUTO 21008KT 10SM -RA BKN065 OVC080 22/14 A2967 Summer evening. One line of convection through already. Round 2 is from the ADKs to south of Montreal right now.

Wow. Thats tough to beat around these parts… 56 degree swing is really impressive. Freeze in the morning and A/C in the afternoon? lol Clouds capped us at 84F and settled back into 80-81F after that. 48 degree swing, missed the elusive 50 mark.

lol at 84F at MVL. Might get a 50 degree diurnal.

Winner so far, ha.

It's that time of year when there's absolutely zero evapotranspiration going on, no green growth to slow the diurnal range in anyway shape or form. Just dry bake during the day and then plummet at night.

SLK has done 31F to 76F before noon.

78F at 11:54am. A 42-degree rise before noon is impressive even here in the Mtn valley.

36F to 71F currently.

This is probably the end of the cold season. Might be time for a warm season thread. We didn't get to the High Road plot yesterday due to wind, but this morning a snowcat went up to check the snowfall at sunrise... and retrieve the snowboard and depth stake. The porcupines love to eat them in the spring as the sun warms the wood. 5" of refrozen snow sat on the board. The seasonal measured total rises to 362". That's often a 24 hour total, so there's some settling. It looks like we move on to the warm season rapidly now.

I love snow, but there is nothing that hits better than a 72/30 day of full sun and long daylight. 10/10 day. Staff day has become a fun gathering with the Quad running for employees only, the day after “last day.”

70/27 20% RH

Already 66F off another frosty night of 30F. Easy 40F diurnal swing incoming.

Closing day brought a couple inches of snowfall at the plots 0-4” on the trails. Photos from below 2,500ft. Above 3,000ft saw 4” or more per MMSP. We could only verify 2” so far.

Stein definition is very close to becoming any time it is not physically raining… its Stein.

Immediately after the rain stops it’s back to “Well, seems kinda dry out.”
