  1. 86F. This one torched MVL. 85F BML too. Leaf drop and bone dry. Given the NNE normals… continues the summer theme of highest departures up north.
  2. A stiff breeze right now would go to full stick season.
  3. Oh 100%… plenty of stuff to do and it still looks like fall foliage. Sounded like Jerry had a good time too and I finally got to put a face to the name after all these years. Normally I fight back when we have the usual discussion of every year the foliage is dull, because even lackluster is quite nice. But I’ve never seen it quite like this. Very dry. Multiple frosts and freezes. Now two days of mid-80s. The vegetation is just giving up; try again next year lol.
  4. I have an aversion to hyperbole but… this has to be the worst foliage season I can ever remember up here. The leaf drop is crazy fast and the color just never got there. Usually the leaves die spectacularly… this year they just seemed to die.
  5. My cousin's have a place in Waves, NC like smack in the middle... we might be at their place on Thurs/Fri but then up north for the wedding in the Nags Head/Kitty Hawk area.
  6. I'm heading down to the Outer Banks this weekend for a wedding, ha.
  7. High of 86F today. I'd wager Stowe has a lot of them, ha. They are everywhere at all the $1-3 million spots... but once you get to the $10-$20+ million properties they are all indoor pools. Here's the Kellogg's house (cereal family). I can't even imagine that level of wealth.
  8. MVL just popped 86F on the hourly too up here. Its a torch.
  9. 85F MVL Beats record high of 83F… set a long two years ago. Normal max is 62F.
  10. Don’t worry, the time of getting 3” of snow and then 70 degrees a day later is coming up in December.
  11. Hit 80F today here. Climate report says the record is 87F back in 2023, so not close to that… yet.
  12. Yesterday morning was 31F and the day ended up +3 above normal with a 76F max. Sort of shows you where we are at climo wise when a hard frost leads to above normal day.
  13. Early June to mid-September lol. Garden is all smoked and dead, the three mornings this week took care of anything left growing.
  14. We die. Third night in a row with frost? Dews were upper 20s until like an hour ago. Temps should drop fast. Has that crisp fall feel this evening.
  15. Frozen solid this morning with 5+ hours at or below freezing. 30F.
  16. Into the 30s before 10pm… it is October after all. Radiators mounting up as it’s 38F at 750ft and 46F above 1,200ft.
  17. Min of 32F and decent frost in the valley. Car was frozen. Instant classic baseball game last night. It’s the only thing people are talking about this morning.
  18. “You’re going to regret not installing before we break camp in the morning, Arthur. You know Gertrude won’t put up with being hot as we cross the Black Hills and little Margaret will be crying in those dew points. My wagon is installed Morch to Torchvember. Alright giddy up.”
  19. It’s so early, it has to be drought related. I’ve said it a few times but was shocked in Mt Snow area like 10 days ago. Later up here but town is looking meh with a lot of leaf drop in spots. Kind of going yellow/gold/rust and falling. The Worcester Range on the east side of town and the Spine was looking decent, in the right lighting. I think it has to be drought related. I noticed it even on 89 from like Mreaves area down through Brookfield and the high terrain there is past peak too.
  20. Quite the gradient depending on local topography across the same latitude from west to east. SLK 39F PBG 59F BTV 55F MVL 47F BML 46F
  21. The last 9 days of minimum temperatures: 39, 32, 30, 38, 60, 56, 60, 62, 58. Quite the whip-lash from crisp and frosty nights, to windows open all night. Don't need heat or AC though.
  22. Yeah, it's been a nice step down so far, but I agree that the upper level pattern looks to buck that trend in the long term. It wants to ridge out instead of the up and down of this month so far.
