In all the years we’ve known Jerry, how often does he talk about going swimming? lol He might be ok without numerous water activities.

Yeah, 67/64 at MVL with 67/63 at MPV. Moisture is still running pretty high.

I actually started missing the COVID thread lately. The discussion certainty included some great info.

When the tropical weather breaks up... that was a textbook hazy, hot and humid stretch.

Holy sh*t. Since June 1st?!

Yeah I'm inclined to believe any authentic photos like that in New England, no matter when they were taken, would be known and talked. No way that's an authentic photo of one locally in this region... your property would be crawling with Wardens, wildlife biologists, study groups, etc trying to find foot prints or scat to analyze. It would be a very big deal. Also the fact that the photo isn't relevant to this time period (I mean that's full on stick-season, but probably late winter as the leaves on the ground have no color)... the vegetation could be far NNE (more likely Quebec) but it also could be western North America for sure.

Dammit Dendrite, that thing looked unstoppable.

It’ll be hard to mess that up so that it misses. Chicken forcefield may not be enough.

Ha, he doesn't have the terrain any more to help get stuff fired. I'm sure it's a learning curve with the maritime influence too. Probably a lot of fun learning a new CWA too. We've been having some thunder up this way this morning.

The only time the upper air winds are out of the east is like a massive bomb with big U-Wind anomalies. Otherwise, flow is always some sort of westerly component. Im not sure your post makes sense. Low level easterly flow is what a door is.

If those windows south anywhere near south, you must roast in there during the day? That unit looks a bit small for that space but I also like Ginxy’s advice. I’d have a fan going in the loft. My parents have a loft/open area like that and they run a ceiling fan 24/7 to clear out the eaves. That unit looks like it’s fighting larger space and a lot of heating from those windows.

64/63 Trying to cool off at 11pm. This might only be a brief mild-down coming?

Yes! That's just what I was thinking... I mean you pop a big one to lead off the winter, you expect to be well on your way to a memorable winter total. I mean what a crush job... the swath of 18"+. It was 22-25.7" for reports in my childhood town/Delmar to the immediate SW of ALB.

That was a high-end event in some spot. My folks and childhood home near ALB got crushed. I know it was a more narrow swath from NE Mass/S NH westward through eastern NY and the Catskills, but this type of snowstorm in the Hudson Valley in the first couple days of December is solid. The grill is just totally gone. It does suck that it is remembered by those areas not as a huge storm, but it'll be overshadowed by the poor winter that followed. When you get that type of snowfall to start December, you dream of gold I'm sure. Big starts are fun, but can lead to disappointment?

Yeah see we had more of a real see-saw in temperatures. June was only (compared to SNE) +1.7 here at MVL despite having 5 days of >90F maxes... destroying climo in that regard. We did have 2 days of maxes in the 50s as well, along with some 60-65F. In fact, MPV/Montpelier has June at exactly 0.0 departure despite the hot periods. It was warmer in the means but we still had periods of -10 and -12 departures to go with +12 departures. Back in June, a day of 91/48 was a really hot afternoon but only a +7 departure at the time. Get the high end max temp but the minimum temps and high diurnal spread kept it from getting out of hand in the positive direction back when sites were pulling 35-45 spreads.

That’s actually impressive thats *only* the maxes, ha. But yeah hasn’t had the high heat down there that we have had up north. Even today, BDL hit 90F, Tolland Stem lower than Kev and more wide open only did 85F.... Under the oak trees was probably like 82-83F. Summer time is probably like -7 on the BDL temp but +7 on the BDL dew there.

Is there a day that BDL hit 95+? I’d assume it takes at least that high to get near 90F under the trees at 1,000ft.

70s today felt good and it’s weird when a dew of 64F seems refreshing. A/C off after a rare couple day stretch.

Yeah it hasn’t felt humid up this way before this week. We’ve done the big heat but drier. A win for all I guess, ha. I’d much rather the 92/56 stuff over the 80s/70s this week has wanted to be.

What’s the max temp at your house this season so far?

Cyclonic flow upslope rain showers the past few hours. The rare summer upslope pattern squeezing moisture out over the crest.

Our resident bear just went running through the yard again, looks like an adolescent in daylight. Such a spaz.

Remember you are talking BDL, be careful haha. These aren’t dews, so won’t be measured at the Davis.

Some decent rains overnight, looks like about 0.65” since yesterday afternoon. Around an inch total from Fay.

We had a low this morning of 73F... that's as warm as I can ever remember. We always get into the 60s at the very least. Always. The timing last night was perfect for a possibly record high min (?) with the approach of Fay. Southerly flow of high pwat air out of the tropics? The only way to mix the lowest levels around here is with the 30-50mph low level jet wind speeds recorded at the summits... especially with the speed max happening early morning when you'd hope for the diurnal bottom.
