Each passing day is one day closer to summer.

Top 10 COC afternoon. 70s, sun, breeze, low dews. Right now around 3,000ft…

72/54 and beautiful. Nice breeze.

Sorry to hear Ginxy, dogs are amazing adapters to whatever life throws at them. Their personality is always there. My lab had/has knee problems and hobbled around on 3 legs for a couple months before surgery about 2-3 weeks ago. It’s crazy how fast she figured out how to run on 3 legs while one lamely hung there.

Cool, misty, low ceiling… not really raining but can see water droplets in the air at the base of the mountain. Only 61F at 1500ft.

0.28” overnight.

The 18z anomalies today were interesting, classic low level cold push from the maritimes. Quite a difference from up at the summits above the inversion. The local summits see close to normal temperatures today, while the lower elevations below the inversion suffer. Dense, low level cold air going under the warm/moist air to the west. Boundary being the focus for lift and rounds of convection to the west, dying as it moves into more stable air. H85 Temp Anomaly. 2-Meter Temp Anomaly.

The ship has sailed on the number of guns in the public. The Constitution did it's purpose, it armed the citizenry and this country isn't putting that genie back in the bottle. The posts by @Cold Miser and @amarshall are a place we should be at as a society though. Waiting period, background checks, maybe we need to throw some money at the permitting side of things. We aren't eradicating mass shootings in the US, but even a 50% reduction would be a win and a step in the right direction. There are things that can happen that allow access to guns for the "adults" of society.

My sister in Vestal where SUNY Binghamton is had some good looking hailstones. Of course she didn’t measure (ha) but there are a couple golf balls it looks like.

Is it really that bad climo speaking? Probably worse over your area.

Ah good catch. Today starts it. More like late-spring for everything else. Trees still have that fresh green from leaf-out. Gardens barely getting started, etc.

It’s not summer yet?

0.25” overnight. Light rain currently. 53F.

Low 60s here. Not the maritime 50s of further east. Pretty solid back door FROPA in SNE to be honest. Areas of 90-95F at the same time as 60s and 50s across the region. East towards the coast is coldest as usual.

Is it a window unit? What’s the issue getting it in?

Starts downsloping after ORH on that NE flow.

ORH 69F, Tolland 88F. Much different climates it seems.

This is the 1:15PM Mesoanalysis from BTV's webpage.

66F and feeling cooler. Front is through up here. It was 79F at Morrisville-Stowe ASOS at 4:00am…. I’m just noticing that. Holy shit. 79F at 4AM and 66F at 1PM.

It’s the novelty and party atmosphere. Definitely not for everyone. I heard this weekend was bonkers, the lift line looked pretty solid on Sunday. Selling beers and burgers right off the snow, and people had some real elaborate tailgating going on. They’ll be open with some walking required next weekend too. There’s certainly a big difference between folks who show up for that vs casual skiers, ha. Same in October for 500 feet of chopped ice cubes.

CON is down 81F to 73F real fast.

As we draw it up. Lush, green, Chamber of Commerce views and vibes on Memorial Day weekend. Couldn’t be more stoked on the weather the past couple days. Early warm season, when fresh green leaf-out finally reaches the upper elevations. Late spring transitioning to early summer type vegetation. That's Jay Peak and Big Jay in the center of the horizon.

Low 80s, dews in the 50s. Hot enough for swimming, but nice enough to do literally any other outdoor activity. How you draw it up.

Low 0f 48F, now up to 73F. Last bit of natural snow on it's way out at the Mansfield Stake. Time to shut 'er down.

You Puritan.
