I think in the past Alex has said he’s near where I think that RT 302 marker is at the mouth of Bretton Woods. Thats an insane set up for very cold mins... bottom of the river valley but elevated at 1500-1600ft... with close terrain rises to over 2,500ft on all sides, draining cold air into that pocket. If you want to see summer frosts, that’s one of the best looking geographic set-ups you’ll find for massive radiational cooling. I bet the minute that little valley goes into the shade around sunset that open flat river basin drops 10 degrees in minutes. Even people living up those small roads up at 1,800ft probably don’t see anywhere close to the temps that pool just a few hundred feet lower.

His spot won’t be beat for rad cooling. He’s I think a little higher than you but right along a river bottom. Hes got like the SLK set-up... which is high elevation but at the bottom of a valley. Your photos look like you’ll have a more mid-slope climate. I bet the bottom of your hill or where the road is down in that valley between you and the Presidential's there was well into the 40s last night. Any stations to compare to down there? Even where I am and MVL, we can be at least 10F cooler at 750ft than 1,500ft base of the ski resort on clear/calm nights. 1500ft here is more mid-slope and stays mixed.

75/52 Mostly sunny. These are the days @PhineasC saw in the brochure.

My parents were telling me last summer the power crews did a whole bunch of work near them on like RT 197 I think... basically clear cut like 20-30 yards on each side of the road. Just straight wide open now. Sounded like the sun finally reached the road for the first time in decades.... but also sounded like that one stretch took them like weeks to do.

Driving through CT roads around Woodstock, even state highways, are like tunnels through trees. It's no wonder you guys have big issues... the trees are tall/mature and they pretty much overhang roadways with decent density for very long stretches.

They have been letting "essential workers" through the border for a while, people who live near there say there's an awful lot of traffic crossing the border for a "closed border."

He's gonna get off easy with these lower dews too... imagine a week of 75F dews with water just condensing on the couch and no power.

What he lives for... "The damage to the electric system in your area is extensive."

Breathe it in.

Gah it’s so refreshing out. Low of 51F this morning and currently 69/51. Finally some solid upper 40s to low 50s dews.

August view after the rain, breaks of sunshine and a rising ceiling. Looking south, clouds still flowing from convergence through the gap on westerly winds.

58/54 at 10pm... feels wonderful. Its been two consecutive days where it hasn’t been near A/C levels. It’s almost blanket temps on the couch watching Netflix.

You said it. Chilly almost given our recent acclimation to HHH. 58/54 at the ASOS.

I honestly don't know if I've ever had a Miller Lite. Our college beer was Molson... we wished we were Canadian, ha watching "Hockey Night in Canada" on channel 11 out of Montreal while at UVM. Coors was another popular one... but never Miller.

I still prefer Lawsons... Sip of Sunshine line has stayed solid. I just think others have expanded on that taste, but it was an original and certainly gets the job done.

A former Lift Ops guy up here who now lives down in CT had a tree hit his truck as he was pulling out of a parking space yesterday. Just a couple frame grabs from his quick vid.... South Windsor I think it was.

We've been at that stage since the beginning. They do what they want or they don't do anything. Either way they get roasted for it by some and praised by others.

It's time has passed. Focal would be my choice between the two as well. Ten Bends' Cream Puff War is the new "big" thing around here. It is pretty damn tasty.

Even DIT threw in the hat claiming "it's over" only like 48 hours before hand. He should've stuck to his guns and gone full damage regardless of what the models say.

Nice, ORH. My wildlife includes accidentally leaving a can of Pringle’s by the pool this evening when the wife and I sat out for a drink. A friend was dropping something off so we ran inside for a bit. I came back out a half hour later to clean up and the Pringle’s are gone. No where to be found but I notice a paw print on the table. Looking around I find the container along the woodline... damn bear stole them in the half hour we were chatting on the other side of the building!

My parents said they were told “it’ll be days” in Woodstock (ie your dirt road in the woods with 10 houses is the least of our concern, there’s a guy in Tolland who needs his A/C back)... my father drove over and took everything out of the freezer and fridge and brought it back to Albany where they only got rain. They are lucky to be retired and have that option to pick a home to stay in, lol.

I think it was Hurricane Wilma in October 2005 (?) that did that same thing in Vermont. I skied Killington where they had like 50 trails open in October, all on natural snow because of like 24-36” of paste that fell on the NW side of the hurricane.

Finished with 2.07” here. The river out back must’ve peaked late last night judging by the water line on the vegetation this morning, but it’s been elevated all day. Up on the mountain today there was still a lot of water coming out of the drainages all day long. Last nights rainfall and water flow from the mtns probably hit the Winooski River in Burlington area sometime today?

True! Yesterday was a high in the 60s and today a high in the 70s! Never thought it would be so hard to stay under 80F up here. 76/58 is pretty nice today.

That's the real issue here. As soon as someone tests positive, parents will start pulling their kids anyway. Half the school won't show up the next day if it's on the news that 4 people are positive in a school of 2,000... then what do you do? How disruptive is that when every school with a case is closing, then reopening, some parents don't send kids, some parents have to send kids because they have no other option... then the way the rumor mill works in these suburban towns... probably only need a rumor of someone having COVID to pretty much shut a school down. Much different than a factory or private business.
