Yeah it's still going but coming along. Not sure I'd say full leaf out (like even the trees right side of that photo aren't there), but the ground is very green and bushes blooming very nicely. When it happens, it happens fast. A lot of fresh green moving through the valley elevations. Down here is fake cold heaven in the wide open areas at 700-900ft on the east slope valleys. Temp plummets like a rock once that sun goes behind the hill. On the flip side, the valley is also the warmest/driest RH during the day. Full sunshine and warmth gets those valley soils warming up. I'd say we have noticeable light green in the canopy up to about 1,500ft or a bit above. However above about 1,800ft it is still just barely trying to not look like November. There is just the very start of ground cover (ferns?) trying to pop out of the ground a few inches high.

lol heard there was a good sized one up near Lyndonville in NEK today. But yeah the fire weather statements have been out for burn piles.

70/28 is amazing. 21% RH and breezy.

What satisfies these guys? 3” per week, 9” per month all summer?

Up, up and away. From calm and cold to warm and breezy. Cracked 60F now.

28F and frosty.

Yeah we now have it there all the time with the mini-splits and it’s so easy to cool/heat at a moments notice…but I hated the look in the windows previously. In BTV I’d take the thing out and put it back in almost every other day as needed. Get a few days with low dews and windows open, thing went on the floor of the hallway closet, lol.

Yeah I mean not a bad question… why take them out if it doesn’t matter? Save the psychological stress of deciding when to put it in during the next spring.

This. It’s a very easy task that isn’t worth even thinking about or worrying about. If you want a window A/C in, you pick it up and you put it in. When it’s hot, or when it’s cold. Doesn’t matter. Pick it up, put it in. You just put them in, whenever you want. We aren’t replacing a roof or a boiler here.

Who uses A/C when the nights are in the 20s to 40s across the region?

Can see that smoke real well this morning on visible.

Hard freeze last night at 29F. Still early to let the gardens run wild.

The smoke from those fires isn’t that thick yet, certainly not enough to warrant a mask. <ducks> 37/32 at 10pm, should be a hard freeze.

59/25 with gusty NW winds. Nice day but chilly in shade.

A quarter-inch per day keeps Stein’s mental illness at bay?

Touché

Shoes come off before entering the house?

It strikes me this time of year, and early fall, why the “White Mountain” name fits in NH. The snow line just tickled the “Green Mountains”, where terrain above 4,000ft is pretty much non-existent. The zone between 4,000 and 6,000ft in NH can be very snowy when an extra couple degrees matter.

Compelling evidence on both sides. One ECMWF panel snapshot at 240 hours… countered with possibly the worst product ever made by the CPC, showing a <50% chance of above normal temps in the means.

No black flies up this way yet. They are coming though. Mount Washington and the Presidential Range looking quite caked above 4,000ft from Mt Mansfield. Portions of the Town of Stowe in the foreground, and the Presidentials on the horizon 60-70 miles away.

Beautiful out. 68/35 with gusts to 30mph. Feels like red flag weather but ground is still very wet. Also, Mount Washington and the Presidentials are absolutely glowing white out on the horizon. Holy crap they look plastered above 4000ft.

We didn’t do 90s… all subjective. Maybe the same. That was like 6 days of 70-80F and not a cloud.

Ha it won’t top that mid April stretch.

33F this morning with frost and now up to 66F and continuing upward. Best day in the last 10.

Got up to 61F with a couple periods of sun. Now getting some sprinkles, just enough to notice on the windshield while driving but low levels are pretty dry.
