That's what I've read as well. I won't pretend to be an expert on it, but you can't outlaw this without changing anything with regards to cigs. If cigs are legal, so should vaping. Especially when the black market stuff seems to be the real issue.

The foliage difference between this year and last year is absolutely incredible to me. Last year on this date there was literally nothing... just different shades of green. Facebook reminded me of this photo, September 24, 2018: Compared to this year... its crazy how much variability there is year to year. We are going to peak in like a week this year when last year it was green. And even down below 1,000ft in the valley it's a healthy moderate color.

Too much vaping will confuse a poster, ha.

That's been the rule lately... seat warmers on driving to work in the AM from the fake cold at night, then AC on the drive home from work. But today was just cold, rotting in 50s most of the time despite a brief high of 63F. Up on the mountain it was in the 40s and low-50s. But man the foliage is just plowing along. We'll be at peak color soon on the hill. I saw a photo of mine from last year at this time with almost NO color.... just full green. I guess that's the difference between a +3 September and a -1 September.

My wife wants to turn the heat on. It was chilly up here but Tuesday has always looked like cyclonic flow NNE autumn since late last week. I refuse to turn the heat on 24 hours after dews were higher than this afternoon's temperatures.

53F on the car leaving the base area... it feels downright cold after the past couple days.

Gotta love the day to day changes this time of year. From summer to autumn... upper 50s in town today and low/mid 50s up at the base of the ski area. Todays temps are lower than yesterday’s Dews. #stayinstalled

Ha! I was just coming here to post this link... mostly because I'm pretty sure that's @J.Spin's family in the lead cover photo. Nice work J.

I agree Tip, so often we see these highly abnormal patterns do some whiplash the other way. Wasn’t October 2011 warm for 3 weeks then bam two snow events? It wouldn’t surprise me if we end all this warmth with something like a 1-2 day shot of cold with snow showers in the hills in like early/mid-October. Before it bounces mild again.

It's been a pretty solid rain event. Two hours of steady heavy rain. The heaviest axis cut through the I-89 corridor on a SW to NE axis. A soaking rain.

Pretty decent areal coverage. Feeding on the summer-like warmth.

1"+ rain now... a solid 2 hour shot of steady/heavy rain. Some amounts approaching the 1.75-2" range down just south of here in Waterbury and Duxbury. These are summer level PWATs and it's very efficient tropical rains.

65F and torrential rain cooling things off. Up around 0.70" of rain so far and still some to come. Might make a run at an inch of rain when its all done, as I see some PWS over near Burlington area to the western slopes are at 1" now. It's been so dry, a nice soaking of 0.5"/hr type rains.

BTV comes in with +18 so far on the day as of 5pm. High of 79F.... but the morning minimum was +25 at 73F Edit: Nevermind, the 5pm climate report is already wrong. Temp is down to 69F, so the daily is down to +16. We'll see where it ends up at midnight.

All Cold All The Time It's not only a mindset, but a way of life.

Some nice thunder and lightning this evening. Good to see it rain hard here. Been dry.

Gonna go ACATT here, but this week doesn’t really look all that “hot”. Higher than normal but the week is highs in the low/mid 60s here most of the time per BTV’s forecast package. Tomorrow looks chilly. Tuesday will be cool, cloudy, and showery with the upper low moving directly overhead. Breezy northwest winds won't help matters. Highs will only be in the lower to mid 60s, with some spots likely struggling to get out of the 50s.

Raging out hiking around the mountain today. If this doesn't make you want to punch a kitten, nothing will.

Holy shit. We 61F at the picnic tables right now. A humid 61F. This ain’t no chilly 61F.

I gotta give credit where due to @Damage In Tolland... I figured ORH would pull up short in the upper 70s this weekend but they are at 81F for their 2nd consecutive day of 80F or more. I think DIT had two days of 80F or more at ORH, so credit acknowledged. What a torch today down SE of the mountains from coastal ME/NH into SNE.

74F... same temperature it was at 3am, lol.

Yeah looks like we had 1 day of +12 in July (the only double digit positive of the summer) and yesterday was +12. The difference though is that the July day was our only 90+ at 91/69... a +12 now delivers 82/52. Sensibly and in terms of comfort, there's a big difference between a 91/69 and a 82/52, ha. +12 right now is Chamber Weather in summer.

These are likely bigger departures from normal than anything we saw all summer. My MET summer came in just a shade below normal for JJA. The hot humping didn't seem warranted for three months straight IMO .

Haven’t had time to post but those 3-4am temps in NNE have to be like +30 from normal for that time of day. It was 64F here at midnight and then 74F by 3am when the strong low level jet started mixing out the inversion. Those 3-6am temperatures were like +5 to +10 above the normal MAX temps, much less at the coldest part of the climo day...

The humidity is definitely there. Local PWS are 68-72 right now and the temp feels fine as it drops into the 60s. But dews are 64-66 on those stations too. AC would dry it out but the outdoor temp will be similar as inside very soon.
