Ha posting at 1:30am from LA. Right.
-
Is your feed now filled with all posts that include the letters s-t-e-i-n in that order somewhere in the post or user name? lol I just picture the AI algorithm being like “only show this account these things, he doesn’t click on anything else.”

Found this shot by the Green Mountain Club from Battell Shelter (Lincoln, VT) of the snowfall yesterday. Thats legit for September 22.
-
37F this morning but no frost. Pesky wind. Just couldn’t decouple fully. It was below freezing at the summits, so if it could’ve decoupled we usually can radiate to Mansfield’s summit temp. Probably would’ve been our first freeze.
-
37F here but no frost. Some wind all night. It is still hammering here at the ski area. Gondola is on wind hold getting constant 50+ gusts, sustained 40mph. Rough Saturday to have wind with foliage guests starting to roll in.
-
When the clouds lifted there was some leftover frosted tips up on the hills.
-
I think it was 56F. You were right later in that discussion, just busting your balls. A high of 54F there seems pretty solid for September 23 without precipitation.
-
Good to see some knew what was coming .
-
High of 52F in the valley at MVL (but many of the PWS are 46-50F), never got out of the 40s at 1500ft (45F currently)… and can still see ice on the trees up high. Seasons changing. Crazy the top has been sub-freezing all day, no recovery at all.
-
Just heavy icing above 3,000ft. A healthy 1/4" of clear ice on the picnic tables. 30F and wind chill in the teens. The plants are likely done, ha.
-
39F and rain at parking lot. 31F and freezing rain up top.
-
Yeah Sugarbush and Whiteface so far for flakes.
-
Haven’t been able to confirm. Was clear ice freezing drizzle around 8am. No flakes reported.
-
I’m lazy and eyeball until I empty… it isn’t hard, you’re right ha.
-
I will say a Stratus doesn’t give you the constant updates you get electronically with a PWS. Most of the time it’s a light on and an estimate from a distance inside. Eyeballing the Stratus in the garden from the porch until you go out the next day to actually empty it.
-
Quite the overall pattern change from the dry summer months. “Drought” gets wiped out quickly in New England. Everyone’s wells should be healthy after the last several events. Rivers are flowing again. Standing water in low areas is back, water tables up.
-
Yeah it’s going to be close to see if snow levels can get down near 3,000ft. I think we lose the deeper moisture before snow levels get below 4000ft… should be left with super-cooled droplets and rime icing on the peaks as we dry out big time above like 6-7kft after midnight.
-
50F and waves of small droplet sheet rains when they move through. Feels like autumn.
-
And the mountains turn blue on the can, equally as hard to do. -
I should’ve said bottled water .
-
Ended up with around 0.50” at home from the line this morning per the wife. Mountain base area station showing 0.85”. Plenty wet this week. Waterways are flowing as best as they have in probably 5 months.
-
All this beer spilled on a Florida highway this morning. Think of how many drunk posts that might have supplied the forum?
-
Looks like a widespread 0.50”+ possible on most models from Canada through the SNE Islands. Much different than the summer months of isolated events. The jet is active.
-
Yeah, I grabbed a quick hike to enjoy the two hours of sunshine before the next system moves in. It's that time of year where clouds often win out. Was a beautiful evening though, pretty warm for the time of year up high in the upper 50s when I was there. Interesting summit temps today... stuck in mid-40s under the inversion until this afternoon and then the right when it broke the temps shot up into the low 60s. Almost a 20F gain with the inversion breaking mid-afternoon.

BTV has some graphics in their Local Studies and also Event Summaries for upslope. Most of it is for the Greens but some of the stuff is more basic and could be applied elsewhere. This is one such study, the Froude study: https://www.weather.gov/media/erh/ta2015-05.pdf Blocked flow, critical flow, unblocked flow.
