Not much today, 0.16” in about 4 different showers. I’m sure the vegetation appreciates 3 straight days with some natural water though. 1.40” for the system. Heaviest stuff looked both north of here and then again south down near @mreaves and MPV area.

We got lucky with a couple this past winter... even that May 11th dynamic cooling event where it went from like 55F at noon to pounding wet snow at 32F by 4-5pm was a CCB. We certainly can go entire winters this far northwest without them. Mid-level Magic is the name of the game. We need those low tracks through SNE like we saw this winter, lol.

There was a lot of doubt from most coming into this, but probably recency bias from the lack of rain the previous 45 days. I still think it was hard to ignore every single model showing pretty much the exact same thing.... good SE flow wrapping moisture all the way from Bermuda into Maine and then pinwheeling convection every afternoon for days on end. It was a good synoptic set up. Even with convection folks were saying lapse rates looked like shit but there’s been plenty of thunder/lightning.

A true days and days of snow pattern. 72/66 after that last shower, when the sun is out it feels steamy. Type of stuff where you see the water evaporating up off the pavement.

Yeah looks like some good storms in the Northfield area and just SW of Montpelier. Vermont south of I-89 is pretty lit up. It's sort of cleaned out up here to the north after a couple quick downpours.

We puddle. These cells are moving so much faster it seems than recent days. Suns already back out minutes after a downpour.

Yeah the past two days our stuff has been coming from NH/ME. Yesterday’s radar looked like a nor’easter curling bands into NE VT.

Ha touché. I do think certain times are better than others, then again our generations haven’t done it during this type of uncertainty. Many folks have told me if you wait until you feel financially secured to have a kid you’ll never have one.

A lot more sun so far this morning than yesterday under that quasi deformation area or whatever that was. Feels humid and the sun is hot.... I think we get some heavy rainers this afternoon, clouds already look to be getting some decent vertical development. 75/63

I’m totally joking, too. Know you love your kids and I know I would if my wife and I go down that path soon. Unfortunately COVID is probably rolling that back a couple years. Don't know if now is the time to jump into parenting with so many longer term unknowns.

This cut off was probably the most “interesting” thing to happen meteorologically this summer, ha. We even have a different thread for it, that’s saying a lot in the summer.

Your choice my friend .

0.26” today with 1.24” event total.

Anything over 65F probably works for the “high” range up here given climatology. I personally prefer 50s all summer, but I also have a high diurnal range fetish so if I could do 50F min, 90F max with low humidity all summer I would.

And honestly, even 80F in full solstice sunshine is plenty warm enough to swim in regardless of dews. I’m with ya all the way on high dews.... unless your goal is just to go from air conditioned place to air conditioned place. There’s no way the folks that say they love that stuff are opening their windows and doors to enjoy it like one does when it’s Chamber weather. I get Kev’s reason though for warm evenings, dews definitely help in the overnight if you like sleeping in a hot bedroom.

Legit 40mph with foliage trees will bring down a tree.... there’s always a weak one somewhere ready to go. 1 in 500 trees? Ha.

The heat has certainly grown on me in recent years... the dews haven’t, but maybe some day they will. I can’t imagine ever liking a 72F dew point but maybe, ha.

Fixed it for you.

Such a weird phrase to hear in an AFD... “hot air trapped in Canada”...but it’s an over-the-top type summer it seems. Looks like some summer weather will be returning this weekend? LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... As of 344 PM EDT Monday...Upper low finally opens up and departs eastward. This will allow a ridge to build in its place and hot air that has been trapped in Canada to filter into our region. 925hPa temps climb upward to 23-24 C, which will translate to surface temperatures around 90 in the valleys.

How much so far?

All you have to do to get 100" in 30 days is drag your kid around on a sled in the mud while muttering about how much winter sucks. I remember something around that time with muddy sledding in 1-2" of snow that was hilarious. Me losing it in January 2014 when the inches of rain were adding up more than the snow and Philly was doing weekly winter storm warnings didn't result in us getting anything special for snow. Bitching up here can bring mid-level magic though in some storms.

Nice to see it came through for ya! Probably one of the more interesting synoptic weather set ups we’ll see this summer.

Looks like he should be getting crushed.

You have some real bad luck if that complex misses you. Looks like you should get some heavy rain in hour or two, but you’ve had a forcefield up.

You should get to the Ludlow rest area on the Mass Pike, ha. Looks right in line to take a hit. Fly up 91 and bang a right onto the Pike.
