That is. Wow. Congrats Tamarack.

Lodge at Spruce is a Hyatt property now instead of Destination Hotels, not sure if that has anything to do with it. Summer is the town’s busiest season believe it or not, but it’s definitely getting expensive from high demand. Rates just go up, up and up each year it seems… but I guess that’s like every other consumer good too. I got a chuckle out of this, friend posted it. AirBnB’s are everywhere and it’s wild that you can rent a canvas tent for almost $200 a night. All the sudden $400-$500 a night for the luxury of Spruce Peak doesn’t sound that bad.

I will admit his ability to stay on-brand this weekend has been something special after a week of tossing all model guidance in favor of deep summer.

39F up top and low-50s base but man is it beautiful.

Tannin’ and swimmin’.

If the sun comes out tomorrow, we should see nice temps approaching shorts-wearing levels. Quite an improvement so maybe the entire weekend isn’t lost. “Previous Discussion... Where the sun shines, we will see temperatures boosted well into the 60s. Have lowered dew points a little below the NBM with values in the sunnier areas mainly in the 30s.“

Same temperature as the Massif all the way up here. Mother Nature is an equal opportunity employer. That cold pool aloft rotated well south and through SNE. The 18z GFS shows it while it's happening. H85 and H7. H7

Get out. He’s in the 40s now? Colder than many a Grinch storm. What a time to dig in and go down with the ship. Sometimes you gotta know when to get in the life raft.

Can’t get this in January.

Where was this last winter. The mountain has been getting wrecked. Almost 1.25” water on the day now at 1500ft. This would be a solid 1-2 footer at the Picnic tables if it were just a few degrees Celsius colder at H85. The Spine follows the county border north/south of I-89… been lit up all day.

Your heat on inside yet at 55-56F outside? I think you owe the GFS an apology.

Snowing on Whiteface in the Adirondacks at near 5,000ft.

They tell me all summer that 50s and 60s aren’t meant for swimming . Mountain base area station just hit 1.00” of rainfall… what an upslope event. Rare in later June.

It’s even colder at many sites than I thought it’d be down there. Figured Kev at like mid-60s while valleys around 70F. Instead it’s like the colder GFS runs of upper 50s hills to 60-65F at the ASOS spots like BDL/IJD.

Mother Nature has some irony that even his cheap midnight max was 69.1F… just below the touted 70F. 59F in the afternoon on Saturday… that damn GFS.

Just saw Tolland High STEM says 62F, "Cloudy and Windy" with NW gusts to 30mph. Tanning, pools and beers. Maybe the models can figure some things out from time to time?

Its laughable... I mean if it's going to go cold and crappy, might as well go all the way.

This is truly special. You feel for any of the dozen weddings happening around Stowe, ha. Just steady small-droplet sheet rains, gusty winds and it's in the 40s. I just walked over to the Beanery coffee shop in the plaza and two families are buying hot chocolates. No one is outside. Looks like the heavier rain will arrive from the north soon. It's been pouring out of those weak returns banked up against the Spine. Should get nicer when the deeper moisture arrives. Classic winter pattern .

lol car says 45F in the parking lot up outside of Mtn Ops. Hammering NW winds, trees down on the Toll Road. Drenching small droplet sheet rains. Gondi top crew reporting 38F inside the terminal. Break out the winter uniforms .

MWN 29F and wind chill of 10F. Some hiker is going to get into a lot of trouble this weekend.

49F and windy. Some real solid NW gusts. Occasional rain too. Have to make sure the heat doesn’t come on this weekend, ha.

That's bonkers. Almost unbelievable as even model guidance.

Gotta embrace it in the Tropics. That's swamp.

Steinless in Stowe. Now playing in a theater near you. Got wet this evening as a cell popped up over Mansfield and then drifted east into town. Life being downwind of the Spine in summer. Decent rainbow as it moved away.

EPony for a license… love it, assuming it’s for electric pony .
