Yeah we are used to frequent and overall wet weather in the NNE mountains. This September was one of the driest runs I can ever remember to be honest. Those were some very low water totals in the northern mountains over a prolonged period compared to general climatology. But now it feels normal again and models do show chances for water in our areas over the next 10 days.
-
It's certainly been a pattern change up here. We did like 27 days totaling only a third of an inch. Then it started raining and looks like more chances coming. Mountain waterways and drainages finally have running water in them again. It is too bad it hasn't worked out down your way, but at least you aren't getting screwed out of snowfall. Would hurt a lot more to miss out in winter than some fall rainers.
-
Yeah looks like the upslope zones of here and over in Alex/Phin could be serviceable but... definitely dry 10-day totals for the heart of the forum. ECMWF GFS GGEM
-
Wasn’t expecting showers today... nothing heavy but a couple brief bouts of rain so far. Autumn vibe with chilly, cloudy and showers conditions.
-
Columbus Day weekend often seems to late... I always tell people early October... but also on Columbus Day even if people miss peak they are often seeing what we are seeing now. Still some color, not great, lots of leaf drop and only oranges left really... but its still something for them to look at. By Columbus Day this year it literally will be completely gone, November essentially like you said.

Back to standing water when it rains. #NotTaunton?

0.47” in the stratus at home... 0.66” at 1500ft PWS up near the office. That last line of strong echos added a couple quick tenths, turned out to be a nice shot of liquid today. Sun coming out, awesome rainbow.
-
Yeah I don't doubt it. They were very close up there all day at almost 5,000ft. Torrential rain here on the county line at the base of Mansfield right now. Just sideways pouring. I bet there are some mangled flakes just above the summit level.
-
Yeah those must’ve been pulled off FB a very long time ago lol. Like maybe I just got my drivers license.
-
Man those are some old shots, lol. I look like I’m still in college in those. Reindeer sweaters for life. I’m gonna have to mail one to Phin for this winter.
-
You said it would get wet and it got pretty wet here, ha. So I'll give you the "W" for the win. I mean, at least being dry means a lot of nice days. Not like it would be snow so who cares, get outside and enjoy never being interrupted by rain.
-
Angry mob of Steins coming for you.
-
Yeah amounts look very evenly spread between 0.2-0.4"...a couple spots a touch higher in E.VT... mostly what you'd expect from synoptic mid-level lift. But now we have some convective looking stuff about to plow into BTV and heading this way. Might be able to add a bit to the totals.
-
47F at work base of the hill. Quarter inch of rainfall at the area PWS and still -RN. Will see what we have in the gauge at home later. Chilly raw day for sure. Leaves coming down, might as well be Halloween.
-
Love seeing the bright banding... that time of year where the beam is finally hitting wet snow somewhere aloft. That band location usually means it's a 5-6,000ft, which lines up with MWN. For Mansfield to start getting snow I look for the band to be just inside the county line towards BTV.
-
How would this system be an example of that? lol.
-
Ha, I was just coming here to post that... I thought scattered showers, not a slug of synoptic rain. 47F with a steady rain, looks like some mid-level band racing through. Hopefully a sign of what’s to come in winter . Waking up to mid-level magic...
-
Can’t wait for winter when you are finding the models that give the least amount of snow.
-
Showers coming tomorrow? Except for Steins force field area of course.
-
It is great, hilarious content.
-
A lot of the great lines and phrases on the forum come from a frustrated Ray in a winter event lol.
-
A lot of it came out through a couple solid baths, but she’s going to smell for a while. The last time a dog of mine was hit I could still smell the exact spray point (below her neck that must’ve taken a direct hit) a month later. That time a skunk was under the porch and the dog walked outside and just got immediately blasted through the decking. It basically sprayed into our place as the door was open and in direct aim. That took a long time to get the smell out of the house.
-
It was a fitting night for this Red Sox fan cheering on the Indians... Yanks come back to win in the 9th right as the dog got sprayed by the skunk. Terrible night lol.
-
You need to get the stratus gauge I think and more events to test. I’d have a hard time with that guy not being complete as his notes even mention when a moose farts behind his house between 4:15pm and 4:17pm. I’ve never seen a Cocorahs with that much daily description every single day lol. At 10:46pm on 9/27 there were 5,670,545 stars in the sky.
-
Dog just got smoked by a skunk at 11:15pm on her last time out.... damnit! Its retreated to between us and the river, so into the bath tub we go.
