    Late afternoon hike up to the summit overlook on Spruce Peak... exposed to the south and the wind is just honking up here. The weather station says sustained 30s and gusting again in the 50s, now SSW direction. Probably experiencing the highest winds of this storm? Glad someone found 50+ gusts. Ha.

    Minutes after I wonder where the SVR is, ha.

    Wasn’t there talk of severe convection this afternoon?

    0.34” here. Some breezy conditions at times, MVL has had a couple hourly obs of 25-30mph gusts which sounds about right. There was a good low level jet though for the summer time as MMNV1 at the picnic tables was sustained at 40mph and gusting to 60mph out of the SSE for a while early this morning. 30-40G50-60 out of SE for a sustained period is pretty decent for summertime jet across the summits.

    It's been active. Weird year. Never in 8 years here has any of this happened. From the heat, to the general circus (summer: fireworks, bears, hot air balloons type stuff)... 2020 maybe?

    I have to admit, with the brazen black bear that has been at the back steps and looked inside a screen door twice now, my wife has dictated a shift to all A/C. The door vents the kitchen, ha. She’s not leaving the slider doors open.

    It’s been rare in recent times. I’m sure it happens from time to time but we are likely talking decades at this level. Some of the more rural ASOS records in the NNE stations go back to like the 80s/90s? Not *that* far in the grand scheme of things but enough to get a strong idea for baseline climate. Maybe something changes for the second half of the warm season... this has started like a winter that exceeds your average seasonal snowfall by a lot already, and it’s only halfway through the winter.

    And the higher elevations haven't escaped the departures, or even the temperatures. If anything, the departures higher up in elevation have been even bigger. This isn't steep low level lapse rate heat... it's just hot through the column. The summits have been torching at high-level times since mid-May after that May 12th snowfall.

    Nice, that's exactly what I was thinking in that 3-4 range. Some years you barely get 1 and other years you get 6-7. But 9 of them already by July 10th with a hot pattern in place? This is going to be ridiculous.

    90F or higher maxes: Burlington BTV leads with 12 Bradley Airport BDL has 10 Morrisville-Stowe Airport MVL has 9 Berlin Airport BML has 9 That is utterly insane from a climo standpoint.... just absolutely nuts. Some summer's it is a legit struggle to get 1 day of 90F or higher at BML and MVL. @Dendrite or anyone else, can you find the average number of 90F+ days at these sites in a summer? I was thinking like 3-4 on average?

    Just wait. Even the worst winter there will destroy your 2009-10 in mid-Atlantic. You'll start to look at the models differently too. Most folks write-off those QPF panels of like 0.01-0.09”/6-hourly lightest shade of green crap on a model graphic, but you don’t anymore. Those are wintry days with flakes flying for hours.

    We know those confuse you, which is what makes them even better. But most charts have titles and axis to show you what they are measuring.

    Gonna crush summer total 90F+ days at some ASOS if we haven’t already... doesn’t look to change anytime soon. A perfect summer pattern for a “glad we don’t live there” lol.
  14. powderfreak
    Ha I read it as essentially a “Glad we don’t live there” post. Ginxy’s description of Fay was hilarious too. Weather has always been about locality, which is what makes it fun. You in it to win it, or not.

    What the heck did psv do? Lol some of you show so much anger. Looks like an interesting weather afternoon around NYC/Long Island. Hoth in CT seemed to enjoy it too. Man this stuff can be brutal to read, unless I’m missing some past history. I’d go for a rainy afternoon with some breeze.
  16. powderfreak
    Those would be like 85F on his sensor, lol.
  17. powderfreak
    Now THATS a torch in Northern New York. KMSS/Massena has been running out 99s at times in the past hour. The stations are showing S/SE/E flow ahead of Fay downsloping off the Adirondacks...just frying them.
  18. powderfreak
    BTV’s put up 95F so far at the airport.
  19. powderfreak
    It is fukkin hot out. Bouncing between 90/66 and 88/70 depending on mixing at MVL.
  20. powderfreak
    The photos look a lot better and are much more moody in the fog .
  21. powderfreak
    I thought it said “Periods of above and below normal temperatures with occasional precipitation” under the New England sector?
  22. powderfreak
    80F at the Picnic Tables and it feels it up here. Almost no wind either. Calm and hot. Not much relief up here.
  23. powderfreak
    Loconto is down there now?! He was good at BTV, always enjoyed talking snow. Stealing some talent. Hopefully we picked up some prospects for that trade at least.
  24. powderfreak
    Said they’d leave something on the porch, I’d rather IPA over champagne. I couldn’t stay till they got their support vehicles.

    COVID cancelled the massive Stoweflake Balloon Festival here this year, but they still launched some balloons for the locals to watch from our backyards. This one just missed coming in our living room a few minutes ago and made a smooth landing in the backyard.
