Getting some breaks of sunshine again after a few hours of rainfall. 48F and breezy. Much colder than this morning.

Maybe some who put their window units in 5-6 weeks ago might get to use them?

Doors and windows slammed shut. Got up to 66F and then immediately down to 50F at the base of the ski area and 51F in town. Going to be a raw cold afternoon, playing out as modeled. Temp is now lower than this morning's dew point.

We keep holding off on planting the garden, thinking each one will be the last. 6z GFS was cold tonight again. NAM is upper 30s though and would avoid the frost. Memorial Day weekend is historically the "safe" time to start thinking it won't frost/freeze anymore here. So seems right on cue.

Don't notice them so much in the village and town, maybe it's all the open farm land in the valley around here... but man the minute one gets into the woods a bit or up into the mid-slope elevations... today was brutal. And came out of nowhere, almost nothing yesterday. Hatching day or something.

Black flies have finally reached the north. Ripping flesh off mid-slope.

lol going to be rough. 3pm with 44F at MVL and probably near 40F up here at the office as 850s go negative, while the rest of ya wander around in shorts and t-shirts. That RUT 40F is absolutely a wild prog though if it's 72F at GFL and 74F at VSF.

33F. Looks like HIE, BML, SLK all snuck below freezing.

You aren’t that old are you? Poor wife.

We did the Seresto collar for years, but have since done Brevecto (edible that works for 3 months at a time). I think they all work fairly well, but my lab swims and is in the mud so much the collar would get filthy. It’s very effective though.

My wife had one in her hair the other day. Lots of people have been posting around here about ticks. They ride in on the dog, she hops on the couch…

Yeah full sun and 66/28 with 10-15mph NW breeze. It’s beautiful out.

Yeah that’s a wild Day 1 outlook. Seemed pretty well forecast too.

I still remember that one too. Think it was the worst severe storm I saw at my childhood house. I remember we went to the basement and came up to trees uprooted. I can still remember this like large group of families just wandering the neighborhood together in awe looking at damage. On Sunday, May 31, 1998, a severe weather outbreak occurred across the northeast United States. The severe thunderstorms produced 20 tornadoes within a two hour drive of Albany, NY, along with hundreds of damaging wind and large hail reports. On May 31, 1998, the Albany NWS forecast area was in a “High Risk” for severe weather as defined by the NWS Storm Prediction Center (SPC) in Norman, OK. SPC has been issuing severe weather outlooks since the mid-1950s. This is the only time the Albany forecast area has been put in a “High Risk”. It hadn’t happened before, it hasn’t happed since.

35F for the low.

That’s the run we need. Highs in 70s and 80s Sat-Mon. Here’s Sun/Mon maxes.

Saw a young black bear today while out with the dog. Watched him for a long time (maybe 20-30 minutes even), just grazing, rolling around in the grass, etc. Eventually the dog spotted him and barked which caused him to take off. Didn't see any other cubs near him or mom, thought it might have been first summer on his own. Love bears, pissed that the dog barked, she was good for so long just sort of watching.

You aren’t pinning a call of Mtn snows and 40s on me for this weekend . Just a chance of wet weather, it’s ok to acknowledge it. Hopefully it stays south as I hate any rain days during the warm season.

EPS look worse than the OP next weekend. Saturday and Sunday.

What year was it? 2013? Big Memorial Weekend snowstorm in the mountains. Mansfield had like 7-foot drifts. Whiteface got like 3 feet.

Start laying that ground work so when it’s 60s and showers you can claim it was a splendid beach weekend. Not 40s and Mtn snows. Hopefully it’s 75F and sunny. Rain would be infuriating.

Yeah OP and GEFS definitely took a step towards wet. The OP definitely engineers the worst outcome with daily rain Sat/Sun/Mon.

Hopefully some can learn from this past event. The rain will come, Stein is a psychological fear that can be overcome.

A healthy moisture train getting pumped north will be moving through. This is very efficient rain, should see some spots exceed 2" as it crawls eastward.

Yeah, it’s not crisp. Low 60s over upper 50s now. It’s windows open type dews. No heat necessary. Summer.
