See that’s where you need a photo of the frost lol.

Crazy it’s been so uncomfortably hot down there. It’s been +10 this month up north but that leads to comfy temps still.

That’s nothing. Mount Mansfield’s record late freeze was October 6th, 2011 (65-year dataset)…. this morning it’s 34F. Almost two full weeks past the 65 year record latest freeze and we might hit it in the next 24 hours. Normal is over a month ago on Sept 17. In 2017 the first freeze was over 6 weeks ago on 9/1 . Even the Associate Press picked up that record. https://apnews.com/article/vermont-weather-881cdfa5bb323173360662d3f1f7a8cf

Breezy and showery this morning driving to BTV for a flight south. Even with CAA it was 43F leaving home… normal min is 35F, so still mild. Yesterday was +1 high and +12 on the min again… the minimum temps have been driving the bus for sure.

I was wondering that, his house photos show a garage but every pic has his vehicles either on the street or in the driveway. Maybe S.VT isn’t the only place hiding bodies?

Making lemonade out of the late season lemons. I love the mountains but if I couldn’t be in them, I’d be on the water. Jealous of you guys with boats that live so close.

The worst is the dog looking at you like “I’m sorry, I don’t know what happened” while you bath them gagging at the smell. My dog was throwing up and wretching the time she got sprayed in the face because the smell was too much. Those skunks have an effective defense system.

39F at the picnic tables, wind chill upper 20s. First time all season feeling “cold”… fingers are freezing. Time for hat and gloves. If I could get a shower to roll through it would have to be close to frozen with evap cooling. Feels like a graupel atmosphere.

Skiers out there talking about all-time mid-October turns. Just like we are talking all-time torchtober.

They’ve had some ridiculously cold snows out west in the trough. I saw Park City, Utah had like 5-8” of dry snow in the 20s at 6,000-7,000ft with lows near 10F a couple days ago. The higher ski areas had like two feet of blower mid-winter snow in the teens. Theres definitely a ying to our yang out there.

Yeah Sat AM/Sun AM/Mon AM on the GFS look to have at least some sub-freezing in New England. Sun/Mon here. I'm sure some will say toss, no freezes until Thanksgiving. At some point climo will kick in as several NNE sites around that time are near freezing for average lows. The problem is we just haven't been able to get a clear, high pressure in... which is what next weekend looks like right now.

I didn’t get that impression in the least. Every part of the discussion this morning looks to acknowledge the warming climate. So much so that it is assumed and Pope was wondering how growing season has been affected. Honestly don't get that denial vibe at all.

So in 10 years, the SNH growing season increased by almost 3 weeks on average (19 days)? Thats one huge gain in only 10 years.

Record late frosts/freezes up here this year. Seems like an odd time to try and make that point. “Growing” season seems to be getting longer and longer for sure.

Over an inch since 3pm, looks to be becoming more showery. Normally it would be a chilly October rain this time of year with a good 7 hours of synoptic style rain, but still feels mild with dews remaining in the 50s.

Very soggy out there. Stratus looked around .90” so far. Raining pretty hard. Hiking trails going to be all mud and leaves tomorrow.

Nice start to the game when JD rips a grand slam.

Worked out how you surmised too…. 1/4-1/2” rainfall quick… gusty winds but sub-severe, removing all leaves from trees.

MVL is 57/35… should be frosty most days now. The 72/56 was a +18 here. Last year was a warmer max at 74F! But the low was 36F. This fall we have had zero of those high diurnal ranges like last years temps show. The frost in the AM and shorts weather in the afternoon 40-degree swings.

Near whiteout with the line. Wind and rain. Probably 30-40mph. Not severe but leaves be gone.

BTV went to 1/8th of a mile and 44mph gust. KBTV 161858Z 25023G38KT 1/8SM R15/1800VP6000FT +RA FEW011 BKN047 OVC080 22/17 A2950 RMK AO2 PK WND 25038/1856 TWR VIS 1/4 PRESRR P0000 T02170172

Some action today.

Interesting line. Cold season pencil type line.

Looks interesting.

Nothing like a SVR Watch in mid-October. The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Far western Connecticut Far western Massachusetts Eastern New York Northeast Pennsylvania Vermont * Effective this Saturday afternoon and evening from 1235 PM until 700 PM EDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75 mph possible A tornado or two possible SUMMARY...A thin, low-topped convective line should intensify as it spreads east across eastern New York into western New England, as well as possibly across northeast Pennsylvania. A brief tornado threat is anticipated across parts of the Champlain and Upper Hudson Valleys. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 55 statute miles east and west of a line from 35 miles north northwest of Burlington VT to 30 miles south southwest of Monticello NY. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU9).
