With the dry air mass, getting my fetish in for high diurnal ranges... heat on in the car on the way to work with temps in the 30s, then coming home with A/C as temps are upper 70s. BML leads the pack that I can see with a 46F swing, 33F to 79F.

Given how little precip we’ve had this month, bet you could get a brush fire going today with the breeze. Probably won’t try though, lol.

77/36 for 23% RH... what a day! Berlin/BML at 79/34 for 20%... skin cracking. This is Chamber of Commerce weather.

Yeah losing the border and also not being on a multi-mountain pass, not even that Independent Pass, they will have plenty of capacity for a normal winter. They just won’t get the volume, along with consumers probably preferring to do day trips instead of overnights... it’s all lining up for Jay Peak American skiers to have a once in a lifetime experience. Local businesses may disagree, ha, but for the skiers and riders it should be empty.

Yeah I’m with you 100%. It hasn’t bothered me in the least, in fact it’s been great as every time we want to go hiking or work outside there’s been nothing to stop us. Even October... let the precip start in November. Unfortunately Ma Nature is in charge and what we want is useless, lol.

More than six times the precipitation that SW ME has had this month! Practically a September rain forest down there in CT.

You are so sensitive to anyone even making it sound like you aren’t dry, lol. It’s a joke. Average those NNE values and the SNE values. You’ve had twice as much rain at .61” as J.Spin, myself and Phin .

SNE is destroying NNE in rainfall in September... but no one in NNE seems to mind, well except maybe Lava Mtn. This is 9/1-9/16. Most of us are solidly under a half an inch, some even under a quarter inch. Looks like even a good swath of the Maine coastal plain NW of Portland is under a tenth of an inch.

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.
