You’ve gotten more September rain than many mountain locations up here have. Congrats! Grass is still green though and I don’t know, it doesn’t bother me in the least... loving the San Diego dry weather. Garden was frosted and whatever survived, growing season sure to end this weekend. Hopefully we carry it all month, just sunshine daily.

38F here for the min. Colder than expected with the occasional clouds and return SWly flow. I think that’s our 6th min in the 30s so far for September?

Good call, WAA aloft not doing anything to the surface. I was definitely wrong on temps rising late.

Yeah nice rebound in cooling. I love you’re watching and learning of the micro-climates, that’s what makes the NNE mountains so fun from a weather perspective. 44F here and still clouds hindering a sharper drop.

I doubt it’ll go all that low... should actually rise in strengthening SW flow later tonight. Can already see all the ASOS slowing the drop and reporting high/mid-level clouds. We might see our mins happen around midnight with a steady or slow tick up through the early AM. Tomorrow might be a sneaky warm day up into the 70s even at elevation if the smoke doesn’t hamper things. Edit: Yeah looks like it’s already even as far east as HIE, they rose a degree last hour. That WAA is already kicking in.

We’ve got mid-level clouds overhead, not going to get last nights drops up this way. 56F

Yeah I know their marketing guy, he moved from Burlington to Rangley right before COVID... his photos have been great. Nice to see the revival up there. They certainly have long term challenges but it would be exciting to be involved in that project.

55F up this way.

My wife won’t do temps in the 50s inside. It’s a deal breaker. She definitely isn’t a Vermonter. I had ours set to start if the inside gets 59F but then I also left the windows open yesterday. It’s mostly just negligence, to be honest. And our windows suck even when closed lol. The wear and tear definitely is something to think about, can’t be good to turn on for two hours then back off again for days at a time. I’ll turn it off completely this weekend and see what happens . Maybe I’ll be sleeping in my car by Monday.

Yeah that’s what got me, under-estimating yesterday’s chill and leaving them open.

We need our new windows. But yesterday's windy mid-50s all day didn't help and I'm the idiot who left the windows open yesterday during the day before going to work. Sucking in 50s all day then a freezing night. It was 63F yesterday when I got home and heat came on at 60F this morning.

For sure, I’d live in Rocky Mountain ski country in a heartbeat. They still get fires but not nearly the frequency of other areas... the ski towns in CO/WY/MT get enough precip usually to keep them low risk. The wife and I talk about, could just up and leave one day. Would have no problem selling our place and putting it in a truck and head west, ha.

Nice! I've got mine coming finally in two weeks. We've been on wait list since like May, lol. There was a production backlog so I don't think he got them delivered until later in August. I can't wait... mine are currently from like the 1970s. I think it'll keep my place a good 5F warmer.

Ha, my heat kicked on this morning. I can't imagine having window units in especially this weekend. Definitely a different climo. Saturday and Sunday morning are going to be real cold with great high pressure set-up both nights after the CAA comes in earlier on Friday than it looked yesterday.

Actually looks like it was early for 32F... still not sure if MVL hit 32F but they were 33/31 and several local PWS hit 32F, so they might have. We’ll see when the 12z max/min come out. Looking at this, September 15th would be early, with Morrisville showing up as September 27th for a median. Actually looks like the record is 9/11/95, so we are only 4 days from that. It’s also only a 30-something year POR though.

Feels earlier than recent years but I bet it’s very normal if you look past the recent “September is a summer month” stuff.

We frozen car windows.

Well I was wrong. No fog and we are frosted hard. Grass frozen, roof tops white, cars frozen. Went out with the dog and that grass sure is crunchy! MVL 33/31 and the PWS a quarter mile from me is sitting 32F. Looks like it’s 39F up at 1500ft.

Ha yup, into the 30s at BML and HIE near you, too. Looks like Alex is 37F too. We are at 39F and the drop has really slowed down. I’m thinking 36-37F locally. We may mist/fog soon. SLK in the Adirondacks down to 32/28 already at 11pm. That’s crazy. Like frozen bird bath in the morning cold there.

The low lying areas along the river and swampy spots are starting to turn fast. I’ve actually noticed it seems like some of the highest elevations appear the slowest at this time, but that should change after these cold shots.

The local temp differences are wild on these nights. Dropping into the upper 30s and calm in the lowest elevations while literally a few hundred feet up is still mid-40s. You can actually see MVL runway in this upper left on RT 100, the ASOS usually runs pretty close to that nearest PWS.

41/39 and dead calm. It is straight cold out here taking the dog for her night walk. 49F with a breeze up at 1500ft. There‘a the difference between mixed mid-slope and calm valley bottom. Radiators mount up.

Still low color, seems normal for mid-September. Two more weeks should have this view jamming. There's always that one tree that gets the party started well before everyone else.

Interesting. Even really high cirrus seems to effect that outgoing radiation.

I saw a video a guy shot from his house after a fire in Oregon... somehow his house was completely untouched and his neighbors on both sides were leveled to the ground. His shed even got torched but by some matter of luck his house was completely fine. No thanks on forest fires, I’m good with 60mph winds being about the extent of damaging natural disasters around here.
