Have to laugh, gotta share. I don’t think it’s even raining at my place but these fields are now getting drenched. Daily watering. Cell came out of no where.

We are running pretty healthy departures I think, not exactly sure to be honest. But solidly below normal. But it’s like a crappy winter where everyone is below normal snow but the all-time ratter crowd doesn’t want to hear from the crew that’s only 40% below normal lol. Ill look tonight once home. As I’ve said, I think the vegetation vastly enjoys frequency over quantity. If you can do four different days of 0.50” spread out over 10 days is much better than 2.00” in an hour one day and 0” the other 9 days. Similar to why snow conditions are better if you rattle off frequent 3-6” snowfalls every 2-3 days instead of one 24” event and then nothing for two weeks. Big event is more exciting but daily skiing is better with refreshes over all at once.

I added some contrast for the sky in that one but here’s Rec Fields straight out of the phone. Soccer and softball fields are in fantastic shape.

Cloudy, no rain. 75/55. Dog days of August?

Been out of the loop this morning, looks like Stein has kept everyone locked in the basement?

That’s a vibe right there.

Gotta start somewhere.

I had the same thought but was impressed with almost a half inch of water in under 15 minutes despite dews 50-52F. See the above posts from a couple hours ago. Don’t let the dews fool you.

For all my ball busting I think odds are you are largely dry but 0.25-0.50” slight possibility. Stein’s had you locked in his basement for months now. You’re mentally and emotionally broken, tired of shitting in a five gallon bucket in the corner of the basement. The only entertainment you have is once a week Stein brings you a different Nicholas Sparks book that you clutch like it’s the Bible. You’re experiencing stockholm syndrome, starting to enjoy Stein’s company… and Scooter has told you he might know how to unlock the deadbolt on the basement door but you can’t bring yourself to even entertain the idea that there may be a way out in the future. Hopefully you get a crack in the door with this event.

You better hope it rains there lol. DIT is teeing people up to blame if nothing happens. Every post feels like it’s looking for affirmation to get people to double down .

Right in line… we do 6” snowfalls and 0.50” rainers very well. You still have had more than here last 10 days I bet (Didn’t Bob just get 2”?) just comes in smaller more frequent amounts up here . I’m sure it’s better for vegetation though to get 4 days of 0.50” than 90 minutes and 2.00” despite totals being the same.

Surprised how much water these cells can lay down with some lackluster dew points. That was a downpour on par with like 70F dews not 50-55F.

Just took a direct hit. 0.45” from this cell traveling the rare NE to SW.

We get buzzed all the time at Stowe. The National Guard helicopters, planes, and the Green Mountain Boys F-35s run training flights through Smugglers Notch up here. It's absolutely bonkers sometimes to see aircraft come in Top Gun style weaving through the cliffs of the Notch. Guests always get freaked out. You never see large aircraft come through only a few hundred feet off the deck. If you are on the upper mountain they'll actually fly under you. Quick screen grab from the Gondola base terminal of a transport flight buzzing. Watching them take these things between the cliffs is wild. Gonna be a big story if one of them screws it up.

The model variance is fun.

Best type of days. The sneaky warm/dry summer day. Saw ORH had dews as low as 43F. Some good RH numbers out there.

What a day. 82/46 for 28% RH this afternoon. Roosters are out. Four great Chamber days in a row.

Feels like there are more snakebit emotional head games going on in this thread than there are in winter. Steiners need to see a shrink. Hopefully someone gets some rain. Its been over for most of CT but E.MA could get something to water the vegetation, even if it’s not 1-3”.

Just busting your ballz but… There isn’t a poster on here who doesn’t believe you’d be chest thumping about warning snows back to “the river” and advisory snows to ALB… all while knowing you’d being absolutely terrified that somehow it cuts back just enough to smoke Ray with big snows while you are too far SE. Its no one’s first rodeo around here lol.

44F this morning and now up to 77F. Been very easy to drop into the mid-40s the past 2-3 mornings. Been a minute since that's happened. Before long it'll be upper 30s for mins when the Chamber weather rolls through.

We love August evenings like today. Vermont C.O.C. 52/48 now.

Skinny Pancake hours are tough. The lack of any open store is tough there during hours when you’d think something should be open. Then again the last time I flew I was surprised even at major airports for the lack of open stores/restaurants. Labor shortage in that service industry definitely impactful still… flying used to be an experience, even in the airport. Now its like you sit and wait until we are ready to take you somewhere… like Greyhound bus experiences were in college.

Gotta love BTV airport.

77/48 off a min of 45F. What a top 10 day. Not going to lie, glad it’s not raining today. Wildflowers blooming, bees pollinating, puffy Cu floating by.

I’m assuming this is what he does for a living and might have more than one animal around. I think Fish and Game brought it to him. It was also hit by a car so maybe there’s some mess on the other side? Best guess is this wasn’t his first of the day.
