Hitting mid-80s with dews in the 20s is hard to do. Edit: Hitting 80s with dews in the teens is even harder lol.
-
This weather is taking care of the snow pretty efficiently. 2,800ft in Bolton, VT... will probably be snow free in the next two days as that melt level continues to work up the slopes.
-
Yeah that's why I was taken aback by Dendrites obs... under 20% is unheard of in New England for PWS with trees within like 200 feet lol. For ASOS', North Adams/AQW has a good one... 75/22 for 14%. They've also done 40F diurnal swing so far today.
-
Humid up here today with dews above freezing when compared with the sub-freezing dews in CNE/SNE.
-
Holy shit. Are you getting 13% in your backyard, not at a field siting ASOS? And 75/14 is unheard of around there. That’s a cold rain wet bulb, ha.
-
This is day 4 of awesomeness and we have another 5 to go? Damn. 30s by night and 70s to low 80s by day.... every damn day. Haven’t seen a cloud other than some high cirrus it seems starting Monday.
-
With the arrival of sustained 70-80F temps in the valleys and 50-60F+ at the summit, we are finally on our final descent at the Mansfield Stake. I hiked up there today to get a reading to pass along to the NWS, lots of water pouring out of the higher elevations as they release that high SWE.
-
Yeah this week has felt great. I’ll take this giant step up before wanting 90F and dews. We went from back-to-back snow events to consistent 75-80F in like 7-10 days, flipped the switch hard. Maxed out at 77F today and next 3 days are highs 78-82F. Oddly enough those are normal summer month max temps, just without the dews.
-
Yeah we lost 12F last hour as the sun dipped behind the hills. Mid-70s to low-60s after sunset. Love that it’s 8:30pm and still light enough to walk the dog or go for a run if you wanted to. Can start a hike at 6pm and get it in before dark too. Awesome.

Flabbergasted!

Your house wouldn't be freezing cold if you didn't stick a AC unit in every window already. But isn't summer the same, hot outside and walk inside to get refreshed with cold air and A/C, no? You guys have been a bit colder during the day though than up here the past few days it seems. But I get it, you seem to judge summer by the nighttime temps.
-
Some real big diurnal temp ranges today in the NEK of VT. NSTN3 at the headwater of the CT River has gone from 34F to 80F today for 46 degree spread. NLHV1 has done at least 34F to 78F for a 44 degree spread and has had sub-freezing dews all day with RH below 20% for the past 5 hours.
-
Warming over the top today? I saw some meso-sites approaching 80F in the NEK of Vermont. BTV's mesonet page still has a couple 79s up there at 6pm in the far northern CT River drainage adjacent to Coos County. They probably are still just getting buds on the trees, easier time of year to dry torch some NNE sites. I didn't realize it was 10-15F cooler down in SNE till I saw Dews' post.
-
Seems chilly. 75F up here right now at 6pm. Dew point at freezing, for 21% RH. Bottle it up.
-
But it is desirable weather for literally every other activity you could dream up outside aside from swimming. Just great for every day life.
-
Perfect. Another day around a 40 degree diurnal flip. 75F off a min of 35F. 26% RH.
-
Ha yeah that’s nuts. I wasn’t up here then but people talk about skiing powder for like 2 straight weeks in the high terrain, which isn’t all that far off the first half of this May. That one sounded like the cold lasted all month.
-
Mid-June? Stake is down under 4 feet. One of the more ridiculous ones was May 1997... that was very cold with several snow events. I think MWN got crushed that month. But there was still 48" at the stake on May 31st that year, we are already below that with 11 warm days to go.
-
We melt. The natural snow level is rising up now above 2,500ft to near 3,000ft.
-
It'll be interesting to see... I think Alex has him beat in elevation but only by 100 feet. Despite being at the bottom of a valley, Alex is way up there. Probably a colder location for sure at night, as Phin looks more mid-slope style property. Gonna be some good NNE snow races going on.
-
Nice, we did 33F to 72F. Can't ask for anything better. Looks like rinse and repeat for the next week.
-
Not Vitamin D apparently.
-
70/30 with 23% RH. Good Gawd. Black flies haven’t hit so far but it’s coming.
-
Green pasted to the side of the house like a 33F blue bomb?
-
Light and variable wind up here... 5mph or so. 66F already. Will easily be in the 70s again. You can almost hear the leaves opening it's happening so fast, lol.
