Almost gone.

36F to 75F so far. Top 10’er. Hell, top 3’er this season.

36F here for the min. That was closer than I thought for the garden.

Would be the icing on the cake if everyone has to stay inside for another Saturday, but this time without power.

Starts Friday, ends on Monday. Sounds about right. That would be hilarious. Synoptically stormy pattern this spring. ICON and GFS though are north and make NNE swallow the uzi.

It’s like the old joke… “I can’t wait for summer in Vermont. Last year it was on a Tuesday.”

We've got some showers moving back in. Wonder if we can get some June flakes up top. 850s are -1C up at 4,500ft. 3,600ft showing 34F on the snowmaking system. BTV going full on snow level discussion for the last time of the season, haha. Upslope showers are lingering along the western slopes but they will gradually diminish during the rest of the night. Snow levels likely range between 3,000 and 4,000 feet, with the lower values over northern New York and the higher values over Vermont. Whiteface at around 3,000 feet is 33 degrees while Mansfield at around 3,000 feet is 37 degrees. Snow levels should drop a bit more as the night goes on. Raw model soundings generally have the freezing levels drop to around 1,000 feet above SLK and 2,500 ft above BTV by morning, but those may be overdoing the cold air slightly. These snow levels will not end up being that significant because profiles continue to dry for the rest of the night so there may not be any precipitation once the coldest air arrives. These snow levels will gradually rise during the day today and they should mostly be above summit levels by evening, and they will stay that way, possibly for the rest of the season.

That smell is woodsmoke on June 1. God I hope we can flip the minisplits from heat to AC this week.

Nice jackpot. Looks like 1.25” here in town. The ski area had 2” and it looked like some west slope spots had 2.5”. Was mostly a long duration synoptic rainfall here without true convective rates. The rainfall seemed efficient though, even lacking convection.

Haha yeah I’ve always just used that as a quick and dirty eyeball method when the inner is full. But I knew it wasn’t exactly right. Can’t believe I never put it together the outer one is obviously taller, as that’s where the cone goes lol.

Ahh good call, I always forget the outer cylinder is higher than the inner one, duh. Even staring at it. I was approaching it as they were the same height.

2.75”?…. IIRC it’s 1” additional for each tenth of the inner tube. Hard to see exactly where it crosses the inner tube markings. It has an 11” capacity so it checks out. 1” inner tube then another 1” for each number it passes in the outer tube.

That is an interesting radar into your area. Does appear to be low level generated and stationary wave like.

Better than up here. We are down to 50F in town with gusty north winds. Soon 40s.

What, 75% of the way to dews in the 60s?

Saturday was supposed to be the dewy warm day, right? Its almost like a near record deep storm moving through should cause unsettled weather.

A steady synoptic rain at 59F throughout the entire daylight hours of a Saturday. Just how @ineedsnow would draw it up.

Foot deep piles of insects that have destroyed the vegetation, does sound like a DIT dream. Destruction and not boring.

Oh yeah but that movement didn’t happen recently. It’s going to go over NH/ME where it’s been tracking for days I thought. It’s funny the perspective changing greatly based on expected outcome. To BTV it’s going to be a breezy, wet synoptic nor’easter. .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... As of 339 PM EDT Friday...A dynamic and impactful nor`easter is set to develop off the Mid- Atlantic coast this evening bringing widespread significant, but not historical rainfall to majority of the region this weekend. The system is currently closed off over eastern Ohio and will continue to track eastward and hug the East Coast tonight. As it strengthens, it will deepen to near record breaking pressure for this time of year, with models bottoming out near 984.

Has it though when you toggle the actual storm features on model sites? Looks pretty steady past couple days.

Instead of watering your grass, it floats away some covered bridges?

Wiz is never going to sleep again.

I can’t stop looking at it, but this glacial landslide is nuts. The fact everyone willingly evacuated swiftly days prior is some strong trust in science.

I'm just here to share and look at the current models... it's like a story line or plot. You just try to keep up with it. It can be entertaining. There's also a lot of hyperbole, which can be fun and hard to detect sometimes. A wrapped up nor'easter or a sunny summer day become the goalposts, when we all know its usually a compromise between solutions. We need an AMWX ensemble of user thoughts to model the weather. Probably would be pretty good, ha.

Touche... the quoted post lined up with the quoted AFD... mic drop lol.
