September and October are great months. Upper mountain leaves are going yellow. Usually not much color up high as they go yellow/brownish orange and fall off first… mid-slope and down is where the real color happens in a couple weeks. But fall vibes despite the warmth up here. The sun angle just isn’t there anymore.

Need more of those, ha.

81/59 Normal summer fare rolls on.
-
Warmer up north today… this year has certainly been exciting, ha. When it’s interesting that CAR-BML-BTV sees highs of 82-83F while SNE sees 70s… this year needs some damage.
-
Definitely a bit more humid feeling today with some cloud cover too. Despite clouds we hit 81F and dews have been hovering around 60F.
-
It’s fascinating and sad at the same time.

Sweet sunset this evening over Bolton Mountain (which is actually north of the Bolton Valley ski area). Trapp Family Lodge is the property on the hillside bench in the foreground at 1,500ft. Shot from the center of Stowe which is between two larger ridge lines. This is the west side view. Got up to 84F today at MVL (same elevation as where this photo was taken from). Normal is 73/48. Well above average.

Low 80s here, dews upper 50s. March 31st sun angle.
-
Orange moon.
-
The moon is bonkers. Bright red.
-
Still foggy in the valley. Break out around 1,000ft. Real shallow.
-
As long as Steve Wright is still in charge there all will be well.
-
Second that beautiful day notion. 75/52.
-
Fog just barely burning off in the valley at 10:30am. Sun angle getting pretty weak and taking longer to mix out. In mid-summer it mixes by 7am. In November that moisture can stay trapped all day sometimes.

Yeah those earlier 107F records were in June/July and more inline with when the average temp curve peaked… end of the first week of September though is wayyy off the chart relative to normal. Edit: Although that June 15th 107F dot is also pretty far off the average mark. It’s probably similar departure. Just noticed that of the 5 times they’ve hit 107F on record, 4 of them have been last year or this year. That’s statistically hard to believe but it’s where we are at in this climate.

That’s absolutely wild.

Nice all-time record high tied out west in SLC in September. Just baking out there.
-
I don’t know, but part of me thinks the models were pretty accurate with displaying a widespread heavy rainfall event? The swath of 1.50-2.00”+ is massive from PA up into ME. All weather models continued to signal a widespread high-end water event and it seemed to deliver. My dad says close to 5” along the state border in NE CT. -
Yeah for sure, if anything the Stratus is a few points low. When you have to take the center tube out and top off, then pour to fill 8 times, bound to lose a few drops.
-
Days and days of 60s up here but it’s been relatively humid with dews stuck in the low-60s. Thick, low overcast has been a little claustrophobic in the valley, not being able to see the upper 1-2 thousand feet of the mountains. Low diurnal spreads… like 67F to 61F max/min stuff. Above normal due to the mins, which is usual during many cloudy/precip days here when radiational cooling is baked into climo.
-
That’s insane, almost hard to believe (not saying I don’t) because so often there are slight inconsistencies in small amounts that widen with the bigger the rainfall.
-
That was legendary. Like a wet 2” and talking about sledding through mud with a couple inches of wet snow on top.
-
January 2014 here. Leon can eat a fat one. Cutter-suppression-cutter-suppression-cutter-suppression. More inches of rain than snow for 2-3 weeks.
-
Is that like 20-25% of your annual average for water? That’s wild.
-
Anytime someone doesn’t jackpot they’ve been Steined now. “Ah crap, only 2 inches not 8, Stein.”
