Schwarber hit two last night and just hit another in the 1st inning tonight. Now 12 in last 10 games and 16 homers in past 18 games. Why pitch to him? Ha the pitchers reaction is great, like “you’ve got to be shitting me.”

Ya’ll are fun to drive with. My couple trips down to BOS/Logan as soon as hitting like Methuen south on 93 was like wall to wall traffic moving at like 80-85 on the slow side and 85-95 in the fast lanes. I’ve gotten ticketed for 79mph on I-89 up here by a State Trooper. Down there 79mph would’ve needed your flashers on to alert drivers to how slow you were moving.

91F yesterday for a max and up to 90F so far today at MVL. Just missed a heatwave with 89F on Sunday.

Good to know on FEW. I always try to look for clues or changes (sky, wind, dew) that might explain temp behavior between obs.

Gotcha, yeah I see a minute prior it was 98F, but the sky cover changed from FEW to CLR so I thought maybe it bumped up.

BOS 99F at 12:55pm

97F BDL in 5-min data.

NW wind and dews dropping from 70s to 64F. Seems like a weak dew boundary went through.

Montpelier/MPV was 78F at 4am… that’s insanity. Only fell to 69F here.

Yeah A/C been running since yesterday morning. Hate having it all closed up. Just let the dog out for the last time and it’s just thick soup. Might as well be in the Dominican at a beach resort, ha. 73/72 here and radiated as much as possible already to hit the dew point. Can’t fall much tonight.

Anyone paying attention to what Kyle Schwarber is doing for the Nationals? 11 home runs in his past 9 games. 15 in his last 17 games. Why would you even throw him anything near the zone right now.

Haha at some point the game has to end of he gets taken out. Crazy, judging by his comments he has just mentally given up which has to be worse than not having sticky stuff.

Tropical. Picnic tables up to 77F.

Awesome, I’ll be down in 4 hours. Will stop at NETA in Northampton and stock up.

Ginxy living the life. Up here it’s varying a lot depending on cloud cover in the 5-min data. Last hour ranging from 82-88F bouncing around.

BTV 90/72 a little before noon. They stayed 80s overnight until some rain at 6am dropped them into upper 70s. Nothing like low-80s at 2-3am.

Some of the primary North Country ASOS highs. BTV.... 94F MPV... 89F MVL... 89F HIE... 88F BML... 88F SLK... 85F CAR... 85F

Yeah! That’s what I mean when talking about the nocturnal jet that sets up there out of the south. I don’t have the study or write-up handy but in the last decade they’ve found evidence of a nocturnal low level jet on the VT side of the lake where air is routed north between the cooler, stable lake air and the Green Mountain Spine. And at night they have a lowering inversion or less mixing in adjacent areas I guess, resulting in higher surface wind speeds in a corridor from Addison County up through Franklin County on the VT side of the lake. Places like Plattsburgh, NY and NY side of lake seem to run slower wind, cooler temps. You’ll see BTV almost get windier or stay at similar levels at night when other stations drop off. Their temps reflect the mixed atmosphere without insolation. I love that mesoscale stuff.

BTV has a steady south wind and 86F at 9:30pm. They've pulled off 80F mins before, wonder if they do it again. That place just gets windier at night too when the south jet starts ripping north up the VT side of the Lake between the mountains and the cooler lake waters.

This is wild. I love mountain weather too much to not live out there at some point in my life.

Thats awesome. Still 79F here. Got to 89F.

82F here too... but the sun is just barely going down as well. With that late solar, temps stay high late in these air masses. Funny in mid-winter it's been pitch black for like 4 hours by now.

That’s kind of what I’m thinking in deciding to go hang with the parents in CT or stay up here and go to BBQs and fireworks. I mean if it’s raining, floating on the lake sounds less fun, evening campfires aren’t happening, hanging out grilling on the deck, etc. Rain is what matters… less than temps. If it’s raining more often than not in a showery regime it’s not like the weekend holds promise because the dew is 70F. The weekend depends on dry.

I’ve always wanted to drive Beartooth Pass. Cool little summer ski area up there, though I think the heat caused a major avalanche that took most of their snowpack with it.

Yeah I agree too, of those two options that’s more likely. No one thinks it’s going to be 52F though and that’s hyperbole. No run shows afternoons of low-50s lol. If low 70s, humid and rain is a “win” then the bar is set sufficiently low.
