It would be very cool to watch, I have a fetish for those small micro-climate changes. I don’t know how old your kids are but you could chalk it up to a fun science project, ha.

I don’t know if you remember the old poster Logan11, I feel like he used to give a variety of obs from his property... in the woods, at the edge of the field, in the field, and he had all sorts of different elevations lol. I picture you selling your new house to move to the same elevation down the road but in a slightly more protected area... wife asks “Why are we moving only two miles away, we just got here?” “We need to keep our snowfall but get a few more degrees colder at night when the stars are out.”

Yeah like a mini-SLK in there. Just an elevated hole in the ground, ha.

Just put a station down on RT 2 there. I bet that down at the bottom of your hill is 5-7F colder, ha.

Can’t have it all. You did great picking your spot, I feel like you’re worried there might have been something just a little more perfect if you could add obscene clear night cold, lol.

Love that bunkhouse dude. What a great way to stash the kids somewhere else, ha.

I’ll actually agree. I hiked with shorts but had under armor base layer and a few other layers I can drop on way up and put back on up top. Wish I had some gloves though, I could see my breath and the dogs breath up there in the shadows above 3kft this afternoon.

Ha tell that to the garden. My climate is all a mirage, fake cold, fake snow .

No need to pay for the extra heat. The only thing it does is make it less likely my car starts in the morning when it’s -27F instead of -17F. Just enjoy the snow. Same at the base of the ski area... the flowers here in the base area at 1500ft actually still look pretty good. Our garden in town is just straight smoked and falling over.

Yeah, I mean look at these dews right now. This is a legit dry and cold air mass. Anyone who can stay relatively calm tonight is going to get quite cold. Maple Hollow should do well, ha.

If we move, that's where we'll likely have to go due to housing prices now. Most of my friends who purchased houses are out in that Hyde Park, Eden, to Elmore Pond axis. That's a snowy little spot there in the gap of the Greens. A co-worker got 5" last May 9th in Hyde Park... that's stuff you wouldn't get if you bought next to BTV, ha.

52/25 With these dews and the high pressure overhead, tonight should be very cold given what happened this morning. There's no surface moisture to stop it.

Looks like Montpelier/MPV hitting 28F is a new record low, beating the 29F from 1959.

Looks like the 12z official is 26F for MVL... that isn’t even close to what models had yesterday for this morning there. Most had us hanging around freezing. NWS went with frost advisories that looked good based on yesterday’s models, but then woke up to all the reporting stations below freezing except BTV. Even 34F at that warm airport spot is impressive.

Wonder how much the dry surface plays into it. No fog to stop the free-fall. The dews just kept dropping too...even this morning there was still decent T/Td spread. Normally you get like 32/30 you think it’s about maxed out, but then it just keeps going to 27/24. I never see MVL dew drop 6 degrees after midnight on a rad night.

Agreed, nice to see a September cold night over-perform and to have a legit cool shot. After this we can Indian Summer for a while.

Growing season has truly ended. Garden looks smoked, frosty tomato plants. We crushed all the MOS guidance last night by a good 5F.

27/24 Hard hard freeze out there. Its crazy how the dews just kept dropping all night with the temp.

32/30 We freeze. METAR KMVL 190320Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR 00/M01

Awesome! Every mile north in latitude is a bit snowier.

34/30 Cold air aloft and high pressure obviously moving in here first on the NW side of New England. Hollows in NEK like the coop GALV1 at 30F and ISPV1 at 31F already.

29/25 at SLK, imagine that in your backyard on September 18th.

My wife pretty much gave it up, harvested everything and isn't covering up. It does look like it'll stay warm for quite a while after this, so if plants can make it through the next 3 nights covered, they can still be enjoyed for a while later. At this rate we'll have frost by midnight.

Still a lot of green heading towards yellow. Very early look, two more weeks we should be red.

Just dropped 10F in an hour... 39F now. It even smells cold outside, ha.
