This weather is right in my wheelhouse for outdoor recreation... a little chilly for swimming but low dew 70s is ten stars all day long for anything else outside. Gonna go for a hike with the dog then maybe hit some golf balls around the backyard, ha.

70/40 here... first 70F of the year. 54F at the picnic tables at 4kft. Wonderful.

Pretty sweet day. Love the long day light and 60s. Walking the dog in the upper mid-slope region, right along the conifer tree line, there's a decent amount of snow. High slopes must be real full.

Yeah that would be the safe bet. Same goes for any Day 8 record progs. If it was showing 100F at Day 8 it would be the same way...always hedge towards climo.

Top 10 day today without a doubt. Dry air mass, mild. 64F off a low of 32F. Perfect. Speaking of trough though... This is obscene for May 10th 850mb... lol.

Just all kinds of crazy in that. The fact that it hit 70F three times in March but zero in April...and on top of that the warmest temp was hit on April 7th, so early in the month when climo is climbing fast throughout the month. Wild.

It’s really pleasant out. Has that warm season feel...that’s probably from the dews in the 50s.

63/53 with partly sunny skies....feels almost hot with dews in the 50s. I’ve been getting used to those 17% RH afternoons. Sky looks convective too, some vertical development.

lol So cold for the time of year.

Ha, prints out 3" of snow on Long Island on May 10th... with 6-12" in parts of New England.

Ha, didn't know Ruth from Ozark was in a boy band.

It’s the use of “we”... he writes like many on here post lol.

Mild 44F here... picnic tables have been rotting at 32-33F all day though. Wind chills in the mid-teens. Should be a nice day for a little hike with the dog lol.

I am 100% certain if those progs and anomalies were reversed in the positive side, DIT would be talking non-stop about installing A/C lol.

I mean those progs are pretty cool relative to normal.... now whether anyone's skin feels that as "cold" or "chilly" or what not is another matter. I agree a sunny -5 day can still be pretty damn nice out this time of year. I'll take sunny and 52F as a win. The tune from a few in here though would be MUCH different if that was showing +5 to +10 departures. I'm pretty sure the word "torch" would be involved in that.

Sick, wonder who the photographer was. I’ve got a couple guesses, ha. Still a lot of snow above 2,000ft. 70” at the Mansfield Stake.

Today was absolutely beautiful. Mid-60s in Northern Vermont and sunshine... we take that all day long. Good diurnal range, indicative of a great day... mid-20s to mid-60s. Fantastic stuff, went for a few hour walk up an old road to 2,400ft. Doesn't get much better than this for late April with sunshine and 55-65F depending on elevation.

Yeah maybe it’s just certain summer months...I swear I remember a discussion with Tamarack about how hard it is to get 80+ at his site once the leaves are out on the trees.

Tamarack knows something about that I bet, ha.

49F and I feel like it’s almost shorts weather, lol.

I'll have to look for the storm summary map, but it was a big upper level low that brought widespread snow everywhere and then transitioned to a monster upslope event I think. @klw was living up in the Northeast Kingdom I think at the time, I remember he had like 14" or something? Peacham maybe? Funny how we remember that stuff, ha. Couldn't tell you anything else about him except I remember how much he got in a snowstorm a decade ago . I just seem to remember the set-up went from widespread heavy precipitation across the northern third of NNE as something traversed across, then the backside NW flow really added it up from the Spine back towards BTV. It had to be a frigid air mass though to get 5.5" at BTV this time of year.

Crazy as we had full sun up here and CLR skies this morning.... up to 49F at MVL while you are getting catpaws. Sun comes out and the temperature immediately corrects to about 50F even with sub-zero 850s.

Crazy looking through my photos though of how much green was around on the trees. Most trees had small leaves at least.... this year absolutely nothing. Barely getting a red haze of buds on some of the canopy. Like in that photo look at the trees behind that house, the crowns have some leaves. But yeah it wasn't paste, all those trees are still standing even with snow on them. We are still stick season in full this year.

Remembering 10 years ago.... biggest event of the winter I think for a bunch of folks up here. Even BTV pulled 5.5" down at pretty much sea level, lol. 700-800ft had 18". Still had snow cover on May 1st, ha.

Up this way, Stowe is pretty much 100% skiable still. A couple locals I know poaching the uphill found 8" up there this morning and two foot drifts on Goat.
