Surprisingly cloudy all the sudden. And you guys aren’t kidding about the pollen. Holy shit my dog is like green. Even sitting outside on the deck you put your phone down, pick it up 20 min later and it’s got green specs all over it.

Heat wave starts on the 8th? Lots of 70-79F highs across New England from north to south.

This is insane... Alta, Utah on June 8th. Looks like some quality pow too, no wet heavy crap.

I saw Killington from I-89 southbound in the Orange Heights and man was Superstar looking buried. Even my wife was like holy shit is that wall to wall snow. You can’t see the lowest break in the snow from the highway but that top 2/3rds looks damn impressive glistening white in the sun from a distance.

The mountains at 10,000ft plus can snow pretty much all year if the conditions are right... but these were very low snow levels for the time of year. I saw photos of it snowing heavily yesterday in Park City, Utah which is like 6-7kft at like the latitude of Philly in the east. I’d put it on par with snowing hard at the NNE mtn summits right now? But those places out west can also snow by like Labor Day Weekend with a deep trough. Maybe it is easier to get flakes flying at even 7kft in Park City or Aspen at a decently southern latitude than it is at even MWN at 6kft but further north. They seem to wetbulb so well out there.

When you put it that way... 12-hours of snow after the first week in June is more than 4 months of cumulative “winter” in Mass? That’s crazy.

That is bizarre.

Alta, Utah with a foot of new snow at their automated mid-mountain snow site. Looks like even the base area got a nice June dump!

SLK at least hit freezing, maybe a bit lower. Looks like at least upper 30s back home.

Yup, looking left side in the trees across the water is Lebanon Hill Road coming out of Southbridge, Mass.

It’s about where it usually is. Max depth is only like 20 feet. It used to get much lower until they fixed the outlet so it stops draining water at a higher level. It comes up to just a couple feet shy of the grass (maybe 6” depth) and in other areas comes right to the grass. I do think it’s higher than when we grew up, always could swim under the docks with head room.

Not bad in the hills of NE CT. The Mass border is literally on the other side of this pond/lake. It’s cool but great day to be outside, good fishing wx.

Classic. Looks like some good acreage got a soaking rainfall.

Yeah we went 78F to 62F real quick, dew down to 50F. My wife is going around shutting all windows and doors, whereas I’m like let it be cold inside! ASOS gusting over 30mph out of NW, drier/cooler air moving southeast rapidly.

Snow melts fastest around there too usually, or actually that’s the tank.

Was a great afternoon to take the dog for a walk. The green finally reached the summits... funny the growing season up above 3,000ft really only started in the last week, even the ground cover is still brown in many areas where the remaining snow piles just left recently. It'll wake up quickly. This view will be waist high wild flowers and grasses come August.

Front is through up here. 75/55, dews are dropping and sky clearing.

Gonna be a locally wet June for J.Spin. Gets the snow and gets the QPF. That was some crazy training of storms... over 2" of water, he'll be the green backyard while everyone else dries out.

What a localized water dump, J. That's pretty awesome.

What a quick dump of liquid on an otherwise warm and clear evening everywhere else. I also bet those storms continued into the NEK in narrow bands, but radar had strongest over your area. CoCoRAHS should tell the story in the morning with precip amounts.

That's a crazy hit. That Winooski River Valley seems to lead to localized convergence at times. It is just rotting over you, ha! Precip totals seem like the moisture split the gaps in a way.

Friend who works along the BTV airfield sent this photo of the training cells that fired up over the Spine from I-89 and just south. The mountains look so incredibly small compared to that vertical growth on the cloud, but also crazy to think that small of a terrain blip in the grand scale of things can trigger a storm.

Be curious how much rain you get. You are training pretty good now too. Been seeing constant lightning and rumbles of thunder now for a bit out the south facing sliders.

Yeah beers come into style and fade out pretty quick these days. If I had to choose, I'd probably go Sip of Sunshine over Heady Topper right now if those were the only two choices in a bar. I'm drinking an Otter Creek citra right now called Berner IPA... like I said, big fan of the flavor with those. To bring this back to weather, sitting outside listening to thunder from that storm just south of here in Waterbury. J.Spin's probably going to pick up a fast 0.5-1.0" of rain or something right under the core in his precip pocket, lol.

Yeah it’s time has sailed. I’m a big Citra hop fan, what % is that double double?
