At 1.15" here.
The western slope communities east of BTV in Chittenden County have gotten crushed. They got trained by several narrow bands of heavy rainfall and now the ULL and upslope flow is cranking.
There are spots over 3" and pounding rain east of BTV. They could do 4"+ in this event.
We bust balls about the long growing season and fake cold… in the end none of it really matters until the snow flies.
ULL around that early Nov period on the models occasionally, maybe you can thread the needle for birthday flakes.
Awesome, ha. Yeah App Gap on RT 17 gets up near 2,400ft passing MRG… no shortage of switchbacks. I bet there was rime ice from the high elevation clouds all up and down the Spine.
Love how much of the discussion revolves around imaging this in winter and how elated or upset folks would be.
Some things never change. Winter still rules the forum.
What? They issue AFDs like 4 times a day or used to?
You hear from the NWS when it’s partly cloudy or when it’s a big deal. That is/was the value of it.
I read the man updates almost daily and I bet many on here do too.
