    85/70... A/C time for sure. Thats about as gross a reading you’ll get from MVL but it’ll probably get worse. Hard to keep high dews from trying to mix out in a mountain valley air field up here, but with the dense fog this morning there’s plenty of low level moisture.

    Ahh, gotcha. I was picturing like downtown Southbridge or over by Big Y ha. But if you are at 715ft that makes more sense... it goes country real fast up on Lebanon Hill.

    If Southbridge, MA is “the country” then my idea of what “country” is is wayyyy off.

    Now it’s gonna be hot or time for AC because the wife is hellbent on every door being closed. No free flowing air.

    It’s a black lab, no way could it handle a bear but it thinks it could take all animals that run from it. She’s fiercely loyal, and most wild animals looking for food will run from a howling dog, regardless of size. I’m not letting her out, that’s for sure.

    Bear just came back to our porch. Holy shit. I'm jacked up. Dog went nuts again and is scratching the door to go outside and chase after we closed it. Screen door open again, it must smell something coming from our kitchen. I saw it's face through the screen door for a split second before the dog went nuts and it took off back into the woods.

    That is by far the way to go. You can manage air and efficiency very easily using the sun to or against your benefit. Full sunshine in floor to ceiling windows in winter cold is gloriously warm... in summer it’s time to pull the shades during midday solar, especially if you aren’t home. No brainer if you aren’t home actually. Head to the summits during that time. Then in the evening as it cools off or whenever the temp outside goes below your AC temp, you open everything up.

    Yeah it’s rain cooled air too... but also climo of NNE to get more weak FROPAs and storms. What’s not climo is the over-the-top torches relative to normal that have been happening since the late-May.

    Ha! I go with much colder settings... I like 65F in winter inside. Right now it’s mid-60s outside and three screen doors in different rooms plus windows ushering that air in.

    What’s your set point in the house? My wife wants/is lucky to get mid-60s inside in the winter. My folks set their AC to 73F in Albany and CT.

    66/64 here. Humid but cool enough where multiple screen doors offer plenty of ventilation to those 60s temps outside. It's summer, but wouldn't trigger A/C.

    Might go far enough west to help out. At least that eastern side of the track will be high humidity regardless of rain.
  13. powderfreak
    But you don’t want rain either, ha.

    Just had a good size bear run in front of my car 15 minutes ago out by the mailboxes when turning onto my street... I’ve never seen bears around my place in 10 years as we are in a pretty active part of Stowe with decent traffic, restaurants, Rec Path pedestrians, dogs, etc. But this summer the things are everywhere. It has to be the same adult that was on my porch to the dumpster to running past diners on the Sushi Yoshi patio just now.

    You’ve gotten hit with some big rainer storms this summer! I do think there’s something with the Winooski Valley and convergence. Storms and squalls like to split the gap.

    Now that’s a true heat and dews lover. You walk the walk if you don’t use A/C and love it. We know DIT likes the thought of it but can’t stand living in it.
  17. powderfreak
    I turned mine on for two hours today before this recent storm dropped the temp into the 60s. Now windows and doors back open as it’s colder outside than the 69F inside with AC.

    Probably some tough driving on I-89 between BTV and Waterbury with 1.0-2.5” of rain estimated in short duration there. J.Spin with another inch of rain. I do think there’s something about the gap in the mountains there that leads to some high precip events driving right through the Winooski Valley.

    Looks like Richmond/Jonesville got smoked with rain... lots of PWS in there around 2.0”. Looks like you are getting in on that training “tail” of the storm going down I-89. I’ve got around 0.4” up here.

    Pretty good velo coming down the east slope of the Greens into the Mad River Valley.
  22. powderfreak
    Heavy rain and I’d estimate brief 35-40mph gusts on the front end. Nothing close to severe but a solid thunderstorm. Garden is ponding nicely so the veggies get a nice natural drink.
  23. powderfreak
    You look to take a good hit. Pouring here with some decent wind. Best wind looks south of I-89... like Duxbury heading for Moretown.

    Inbound. It is very dark to the NW and all the golf horns just went off. The Vermont Amateur Championships are going on just on the other side of the little river.
  25. powderfreak
    Constant thunder... some hail just north of here. There is a very ominous line of darkness off to the north towards Jay Peak as viewed from the PicnicTables. You know it’s humid when all the rocks on Mansfield are just sweating with condensation. All rocks are wet without rain, ha!
