Today’s 79/64 afternoon air felt plenty hot in the sun. A lot of gloomy days with summits in clouds lately though.

Weren’t there some October ones around that time? Like 2004 or 2005? Wilma or some hybrid storm?

What tropical event hit SNE with 55-65mph wind in the early 2000s?

It’s been incredible. I think it was some place in the mountains of Maine (not far from Tamarack) that months ago had localized 5-7” rains that washed out everything. I remember thinking that’s wild, don’t see that very often. Then for the next 2-3 months we saw slow moving clusters/convection drop localized 100-200 year rainfall totals. All over New England. Every state, every zone, has experienced high excessive rainfall. You wonder if this has been the most impactful warm season in terms of water damage from flash flooding around New England?

Could be worse, ha.

Can’t spell danger without anger.

Morality Po Po… been doing it on the forum since WWBB, haha.

The worst part is folks post about it like what someone desires has ANY outcome on the final result. Its like nails on a chalkboard. WGAF if you root for it or not… no one is changing the outcome either way.

Good to see you back and bringing the classic hits with you . As long as we get one model a day to keep folks invested, this forum will be entertaining.

Yesterday and Friday were drier with dews down into the 50s… but today Dr Dew has returned. Only some light rain at times, just enough to wet the pavement and make it dark/dreary but humid day. 70/67

63/60 Looks like we got some light rain of just under a couple tenths last night.

68/58 down in the valley. 50s up here with jackets on, feels wildly different than yesterday.

61/55 up here right now. Feels decidedly fresher than it has all week. Just about an inch of rain last two days after more overnight.

It’s raining hard. Woke me up. Approaching 3”/hr rates.

Had some good lightning up here too. Took a while to get here and only dropped a quick 0.25”… but two days of plenty of Thunder and flashes totaling just over 0.50”. Keeps it damp.

That’s my issue too, can’t see over the Spine so it’s hitting 4-5,000ft up… but you see 60kts up there, I can see how as a forecaster you aren’t willing to risk not mixing that down.

lol, that’s what some people around Vermont think a severe thunderstorm is judging by comments on BTV’s social pages. Like if it’s strobing lightning and heavy rain, maybe a gust front, it’s a severe storm. By actual severe definitions storms in New England have to be over-warned at an extremely high rate.

That’s legit.

That guy looks stoked.

Stepped outside of the A/C onto the porch long enough to take a photo? Should go interview them on camera lol… “I have all of these people who don’t think today is a banner day to pave. But it’s glorious out here, is it not? What do you say to those folks?” ”Frank, can we stuff this guy in the asphalt or is that frowned upon?”

Where else gets routinely exciting weather year round? The thing is each area of the country can get more extremes but all the extreme events don’t happen at the same place over and over. So while it feels like you are missing out, just move somewhere else and watch 10 months of boring weather happen… while still watching extreme events happen around the country where you are not.

Ended up with 0.38" yesterday, just enough to keep the mushrooms happy.

So much lightning… just had another round of close strikes two hours later. Summer evening vibe with constant flashes and Thunder for a couple hours around here.

Good amount of debris on the roads, in my yard and a few good-sized branches down on my way home. Sub-severe wind but looked like what up to 40mph gusts will do to leafed out trees. MVL recorded a couple 38mph gusts and that sounds about right here too, with 50-65mph up on ridges. Coworker and friend sent this from top of the Quad looking due south as the shelf cloud squeezed through the gaps and over the Spine.

Good wind at 3-4kft on velocity. I’m not home but looks like it downslopes off the Mountain and punched some good velocities lower down in elevation on the east side.
