Stay safe out there in pollen land. Had our daily pop-up shower to keep the pollen down up here. As Coastalwx says, it seems to rain every day, even if only for 5 minutes.

My folks sent me this from Woodstock, CT… they noticed a rock that seemed to be moving in their front yard and had a massive snapping turtle laying eggs all over their mulch beds. Bottom of this photo just above the grass. She laid eggs all over the top of the mulch bed up top of hill. Then she went on the long journey back to the lake. Across the road. Then fell off 4 (!) different retaining walls. Went right over and in the video the thud noise is hilarious. Like dropping a rock onto a lawn. Got up after each fall and walked off the next wall. Amazing dinosaur looking creature.

75F off a low of 45F. Sunny, puffy Cu, dews in the 40s.

I'm realizing just how lucky we got up this way. I hadn't looked at area weather... figured it was a moving round of showers (passed by early this morning) and was cruising SEward given the NW breezes we felt here. The precipitation and convergence zones seemed to stall and continue to regenerate south of I-89 and over into NH. I had no idea, felt like a nice warm season Friday evening. https://cdn.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES16/ABI/SECTOR/ne/GEOCOLOR/20221542106-20221550101-GOES16-ABI-NE-GEOCOLOR-600x600.gif

We had some rain earlier today but it’s been nice all afternoon. Likewise I think we had like 5” in May. I saw some spots up near the Canadian border near Jay had like 7”+ on the month. The green is absurd. The higher elevations still have that “fresh green” look as they only leafed out like in the past two weeks… and the steady diet of soaking rain just has it like neon green. Radar loop has had a decent showery afternoon from C.VT up into your area. We managed to clear out.

Dog could’ve just broken their leg but hears a noise in the kitchen… “Was that the cheese and deli drawer I just heard open? Was that the fu*king cheese drawer?! LFG! Even if I had zero working legs I’m getting into that kitchen right now.” They seem to have zero memories of an injury for whatever reason. Even after my lab fully wrecked her knee and came up lame, she was more concerned in that moment with a few kibbles I had in my pocket than her leg just hanging off her body.

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.
