Cold. 3,600ft... 31F 2,600ft... 35F 1,500ft... 39F
-
We are flipping over to snow flakes at 3,000ft on the snow cam. 39F in the base area with rain.
-
This is a great post. Back to basics. No charts, no models… just upper level cold pool aloft in the means. Some downslope dandy and some moisture before another front.. Unsettled. At least up in NNE, we are probably f*cked with a cold pool overhead. The BrianWs south coast environments are probably quite nice at times.
-
Agreed, that’s the rub. The 35F to 75F or 40F to 82F with wall-to-wall sun this is not. Low diurnal change, with clouds and some rain. Dry periods still fine outdoors but not beautiful. We’ll get through it, ha.

I won’t lie, maybe you’ve seen more data but about half the days the next two weeks look like a 925-850 flow out of an easterly component. The other half is N/W. Which I think is why most are talking about the same weather. You’re just more positive on anything that isn’t straight May 2005. Others are like it’s not the nicest it could be.

This isn’t winter though. The cold air to tap isn’t in the Arctic. It’s the ocean that surrounds us on two sides. Loop the dew points over the next two weeks… a lot of it is advecting from E/SE and it’s not humid. My question for you is, what would have to happen for you to say it doesn’t look ideal or as good as it could be? -4C 850s and snow? Where’s the line this time of year?
-
Yeah that’s what I got out of the model runs. It could be better. Are folks relegated to being indoors for weeks on end? No, they never will this time of year. But it is not a great pattern.
-
What’s the big hang up with saying it doesn’t look as good as it could on here in the warm season? It’s like as soon as that’s uttered, a full scale PR & marketing effort starts to convince folks it’s going to be full summer until October now
-
Dendrite didn’t say it’s weeks of rain and cold though? Is that what crud means to you? Coolish with clouds at times? I feel like there’s a big misconception of what’s being said. If anyone says it’s not a great pattern, it’s being interpreted as 44F and raining.

Maybe some flakes tomorrow?
-
Worcester, VT yesterday. 1-2” new lol.
-
You have to have one of the longest growing seasons in New England. Beaten only by Brian in CT growing palm trees on the shore.
-
Numerous road washouts including RT 100 in Warren (Sugarbush area).
-
1.84” so far today after 1.10” yesterday.
-
Big hail. From a friend near the base of the ski area.
-
Wrecked at work. Of course not there today, ha. State Park campground is about a half mile from base of the ski area.
-
Monday looks awesome (sarcastic). 4pm Monday with temps upper 30s to low 40s with summit snow showers?
-
We do flash flooding very well in this terrain. The basins just overwhelm waterways with 1-2” in an hour. Incident Closure - NewTRAFFIC ALERT: VT-15 Cambridge is CLOSED in both directions due to a flooded driveway and possible roadway damage 1/4 mile east of the "Wrong-Way Bridge". Updates will follow when available.
-
Flash flooding now. 3”/hr rain rate and water coming over driveways on RT 100.
-
Already hearing thunder.
-
Who has some links to follow the outbreak? Any live cams?
-
That storm is now warned. Thing really blew up as it went through here and into the Worcesters.
-
That was some heavy rain. Caught the core of that cell. 0.89” in under a half hour. Rain rate peaked at 3”/hr. Now the sun is coming back out.
-
That ass sweat loosens it up… but 83/48 and I’m loosest. Snow crying for its mama. The bugs are just starting to get going as green up is through 2,000ft now. Another 3-5 days and it’ll probably be time to get carried away by black flies. Today I did think of Scooter and the clouds jokes in NNE… hit about 12pm and clouded up with the humidity and terrain. Then brief downpours.
-
Today was hot. 83/62. That’s MVL mid-summer climo right there. Average high peaks around 83F in July. Now getting brief downpours. Like the 5 minute variety. Feels tropical.
