Sterling Valley on the Stowe/Morrisville line...

Jesus. The Lamoille River is still rising and it’s flow is beating the high water mark for Irene! So this event is pumping more flow than even Irene now. Current... Irene:

We are ok, we are only 15 feet above the river but if it go to our place the entire town would be gone. The river out back that I swim with the dog is the same one that flooded those cars and Pizza place...the river bed is just more contained by us.

Jeffersonville VT on the north side of Mansfield... yikes.

Severe Irene-level flooding from this event. I put a bunch of stuff in the storm thread. 4+ inches in Underhill, 3.79” storm total in Stow, 4” in Morrisville, Town of Eden is isolated. RT 108 in Stowe washed out. What a rain event!

This stuff is insane! Water almost over cars in south side of Stowe. The Moscow Bypass by the Pizza Joint:

4.06” in Underhill. These amounts are really only 1-2” less than Irene in these parts and it took 18 hours in that storm.... not like a few hours in this one. Irene also had vegetation trying to suck up water...this was pure run-off. Mansfield could’ve easily been 4-5” rain in this all running off into Stowe overnight. You can’t dump widespread rain like that into the topography and not have major issues.

Stowe, Hyde Park, Morrisville, Eden, all with a lot of impassable roads. Worst flash flood event in memory from the obs and pics. Glad I’m not there honestly haha. Power out too I hear. Eden is completely cut off in all directions.

Biggest rain event since Irene. Stowe CoCoRAHS had 3.79” storm total. Most in about 4 hours. This is why you can’t get to the ski area in Stowe: Lots of this sort of stuff being posted...

Wettest October on record at BTV... beating the 101 year record from 1918 by almost 2”. CLIMATE... Several long-standing rainfall records have been broken. At Burlington, a new daily record rainfall for October 31st was set yesterday with 3.3" of rain, beating the old record of 1.16" on 10/31/1894. This is the second highest one day rainfall total at Burlington in the month of October (record is 4.19" 10/6/1932). We also observed the wettest October on record at Burlington, with 8.50" last month. The old October monthly rainfall record was 6.75" in 1918. && Will see widespread MODERATE category flooding, with localized major flooding forecast later today for the Missisquoi at East Berkshire and North Troy, as well as the Winooksi at Essex Jct. Significant street flooding will also take several hours to subside in downtown Burlington this AM. Owing to the rapidly changing nature of water levels over the next several hours, please refer to updated flood warnings/statements for the latest details.

This is nuts. Worst flooding since Irene, in fact might be worse in Stowe than Irene. Saw video from my wife’s coworker of RT 108 washed out at Topnotch. You can’t get to the mountain from town. There is major flooding going on per BTV.

Damn, looks like the fine line hasn’t moved through yet, and MVL and the Stowe PWS’s are at 2-3” of rain already today too. Back home the yard must be a swamp with the heaviest moving in shortly. The rain will be a bigger story than the wind up in the North Country it looks like.

Wow what a rain event.... 3+ inches at BTV now. Good swath of 3-6” setting up from Adirondacks into NW New England. People trapped in cars and homes with 5” rainfall in 3 hours or so. At 1105 PM EDT, due to heavy rain resulting in numerous road closures and residents trapped in homes and cars across the warned area, an emergency manager has requested a Flash Flood Emergency. Up to five inches of rain have fallen. Flash flooding is expected to continue. THIS IS A FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN HERKIMER COUNTY. This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SEEK HIGHER GROUND NOW!

Holy shit at the rain back home. BTV ASOS at 2.97” so far in the event with +RN. Already another 0.67” in 20 minutes this hour. The hourly rates are pretty solid. 0.76”, 0.75”, 0.67”, etc type stuff.

Classic Sou’Easter... just a furnace with the best mixing moving through right ahead of the FROPA.

0.96” rain in 2 hours out here in NY with that line. Wet.

My sister lives around 1,200ft not far from BGM airport and despite the SVR warnings, there’s been not much wind but torrential rain. Looks like BGM gusted to 39mph and that sounds about right...gusts in the 30s. The rain though is holy shit levels... 3/4sm visibility at the ASOS in +RN. Torrential. Hopefully you guys further east have a better chance at mixing down higher winds. 30-40mph gusts here wasn’t that exciting...maybe if the trees were still leafed it might have done something? Or maybe someone gets an oak to uproot in the wet ground?

Just got to Binghamton, NY to visit family.... phone is blowing up with severe and flash flood warnings. The warning map is like a Christmas Tree.

True, I think MMNV1 is 84F in July set two summers ago. Makes sense with the 2kft difference. 60F at the 4,000ft picnic tables right now. That’s a lot more anomalous than the 63F at MVL for obvious reasons. With full summer mixing that summit temp yields mid/upper 70s at MVL.

That’s more impressive. But I can’t believe 52F is the all-time high. Guess it is 2k feet higher than my picnic tables.

Good lord at that Euro run from 12z. It has 2-M temps here at MVL of 24F at 1pm next Friday....with a couple days not sniffing freezing even at lower elevations. 850s trying to get near -20C in a week, lol. Be colder relative to normal than it is warm right now on that prog.

Then going home to look at pictures of the real, right? Supercells that is.

I thought he was at an ice rink or something ha, but that sounds familiar too.
