22F to 63F so far… 41 degree diurnal spread and still seems to be trying to nudge higher.
-
You get it on a pallet or something? Freight truck just back up to your garage with a lift gate?
-
She got tight last night. Inversion down under 1500ft. Its wild to me it can just keep radiating like the face of the moon underneath. MVL popped 21F on a few of the 5-min readings. A 20F delta to 875mb.
-
22F. Its 41F on the summit. Lol.
-
That’s what makes this time of year interesting I guess. The staying power of low level cold air. Once that boundary layer cool air gets established (even if by radiational cooling), it’s hard to dislodge? The sun angle is very low, it just doesn’t warm up at all like it did even just weeks ago.
-
Ha. 36F on Mansfield as return flow occurs aloft. Definitely a “backside of the deeper cold” type of night... where the 850mb flow has switched SW with gentle WAA overtop. Instead of a 5,000ft thick cold layer last night, it might be more like 2,000ft tonight. Cold should settle in better and deeper to the east of here. Locally here and into the Adirondacks it should be shallow as the warmth laps through the terrain overhead.

It does make me think we were pretty "lucky" (?) I guess climatologically to pull off that sneaky 1-2" on the mountain back on October 8th I think it was. That got the true first accumulation on the books, with good flakes into the base area... but without that, Mansfield might have been on a more noteworthy streak deep into November looking for it's first whitening. Kind of funny it can go a month+ without seeing flakes fly again after the first event rolls through.
-
It looks quite mild into mid-month, for sure. Going to be a slow start to the ski season but plenty of time before Thanksgiving for things to change by the second half of the month being 2+ weeks away. It won't happen fast but hopefully after two weeks we can see distinct signs of an upcoming change.
-
Wow you aren't joking about not getting cold at night. That's crazy. 31F here and 30/27 at MVL already tonight. Going to be a cold one.
-
45F in the valley, has that cool/crisp vibe despite full sun. Frost still in the deeper shaded spots from the dry air. Shade still feels cold.
-
I read it as he’s wondering what can go wrong so the pattern change doesn’t come… and it’s torchy into December?
-
Yeah it wasn’t the like 27F in the valleys while it’s 42F at BTV and on the peaks. Everyone was below freezing at all elevations and topography.
-
Crisp morning. BTV got their first freeze, ha. That’s when you know it’s not really fake when torch Island there gets below freezing.
-
27F outside right now at 750ft and 29F at 1500ft. Pretty uniform radiational night. Mansfield summit was 25F for a low but looks to be ticking up again. PWS around town at all elevations ranging 26F to 29F, pretty deep boundary layer with 20s in lowest 5,000ft, no skim cooling while it’s warm just off the deck. LOL at 19F at SLK.
-
Looks pretty nice to be honest. Looks like the woods how they are supposed to look this time of year.
-
It’s the one type of weather that brings the interior hilltop and the ocean side coast together. You love to see them find some common ground in mild nights.
-
I forgot you guys just rained for days. We had low clouds but it was mostly dry and a few sunny breaks at times.
-
Yeah nothing we can do about it, so might as well enjoy it. It could be 43F and raining every day. Not sure how that’s “better.”
-
It’s wild to be this warm and have nothing on the trees. And the low sun angle messes with perception too.
-
BTV has just been baking in full sun most of the afternoon too. Perfect combination. Rain to the east, rain to the west. Full sun, hot and humid in the middle. Sun just hit here and it feels like summer out there.
-
Yeah my local PWS has a high of 75F so far in Stowe. It’s hot.
-
78/59 at BTV .
-
That’s why he looks bloated AF. Stuff that much pumpkin into him, surprised he can move lol.
-
Ah wow yeah that’s warm. Seems it’s running on the warmer side near records along the W/N side of the region (like 70F for MVL/BML/HIE) with rain cooled air in the CAD zone.
-
Kind of amazing to think what full sun regionwide might have given us in this air mass. The fact that it is 68F and raining (5 mile visibility) in Montpelier/MPV is absolutely wild. Normal high of 52F and a rain-cooled airmass is yielding 68F right now with dews approaching mid-60s... that's impressive.
