  1. Just ripping most of the night. Sustained 35-40mph, gusts 45-50. Its still hammering pretty good.
  2. I honestly am not sure… enlighten me. The strong jet stream shearing energy apart? Hadley Cell? Lack of amplification?
  3. Models show about 40kts moving in tonight on OBX and hotel room is about 50 feet above the dunes facing east. Could be a little fun on the balcony as the low level jet moves through.
  4. Been sustained 20mph with gusts to 35 here on the OBX shore. We see this at the summits but the vast majority of inland locations don’t see this… the ocean front sustained 20kts on the dunes is fun weather. Cant imagine what a true 40kts+ sustained feels like off the ocean. The sustained part is important… it’s not gusts.. the air is just always moving at that speed at all times.
  5. From hard freeze to OBX. Wind is steady out of the east with blowing sand on the dunes. Ocean is rough.
  6. Widespread freeze. ORH at 40F while all around is in the 20s lol.
  7. 30/27… gonna put up a decent number of hours below-freezing tonight.
  8. Fair enough, the urban legend continues to grow for the Euro of old, ha. I was just thinking even if the Euro is consistent now, we still don’t trust it like we used to against the others. It’s too bad.
  9. Yes! Did have some rime icing up high this morning.
  10. The more likely scenario is the other models have caught up is what happened… instead of the Euro going backwards.
  11. Yeah seems to be jumping around. Max was 50F. Guess this is an hour old but similar temps to now. Mid-40s just off the deck here but 48-50F in the best mixed valleys? Seems like sharp lapse rates in lowest 2,000ft. 43F at Brookfield on I-89 south of MPV is kind of wild… 1500ft high spot. Ski area profile is: 3,600ft… 33F 2,600ft… 39F 1,500ft… 45F
  12. It’s kind of wild that it’s 48/28 at 2pm. 71 hours ago at 3pm on Monday was 86/47.
  13. I’m sure there are some takers. It’s probably like Morrisville-Stowe… there’s some Cape Air commuter from Westchester to Stowe that comes in before the weekend, ha. The ASOS for MVL is right next to RT 100 so I can always check my car thermometer remains 1-2F higher than official. There’s gotta be some square fenced in area at SLK you need to find and photograph. I’ve never seen the siting.
  14. Calling it an “Airport” is probably being liberal with the definition lol.
  15. 35F Legit cold. 3,800ft is showing 24F with gusts of 40-45mph and wind chills in the single digits.
  16. What a relaxing scene. And at 1500ft there… Thats a different vibe than CT.
  17. 86F. This one torched MVL. 85F BML too. Leaf drop and bone dry. Given the NNE normals… continues the summer theme of highest departures up north.
  18. A stiff breeze right now would go to full stick season.
  19. Oh 100%… plenty of stuff to do and it still looks like fall foliage. Sounded like Jerry had a good time too and I finally got to put a face to the name after all these years. Normally I fight back when we have the usual discussion of every year the foliage is dull, because even lackluster is quite nice. But I’ve never seen it quite like this. Very dry. Multiple frosts and freezes. Now two days of mid-80s. The vegetation is just giving up; try again next year lol.
  20. I have an aversion to hyperbole but… this has to be the worst foliage season I can ever remember up here. The leaf drop is crazy fast and the color just never got there. Usually the leaves die spectacularly… this year they just seemed to die.
  21. My cousin's have a place in Waves, NC like smack in the middle... we might be at their place on Thurs/Fri but then up north for the wedding in the Nags Head/Kitty Hawk area.
  22. I'm heading down to the Outer Banks this weekend for a wedding, ha.
