One final patch of snow left on the ski trails... find the white. Still a couple widely scattered natural snow patches hidden deep in the spruce forests up high near the Stake and under the cliffs by the top of the Gondola...it is crazy how long that stuff can last when its hidden in the dark cold forest floor under the spruce's and protected from the sun by the cliffs.

I'm on top of Mansfield and it just went cobalt blue, high clouds and milky horizon off towards NH. Should clear your way in a couple hours? Perfect weather though, definitely chamber weather at 78/45. 63F up here at 4kft, for the usual 15F spread from peak to town. Hiking trails are packed.

Crazy drying up here this morning... it was like an hour max it went from -RN and thick cloud cover to 100% blue clear skies. Beautiful day up here now and got warm fast...feels like it went from 50F to 70F with the sun.

Holy sh*t, I'm not sure if this has been posted but this is one helluva dust devil.

I'll have to look. I've saved screen shots from ridiculous cold days in recent years from the MMNV1 obs. Off the top of my head, -50F is fairly regular (at least once a winter) but there's a sharp gradient there in frequency past the -50F to -55F zone. Like -60s is much more rare and I want to say like -70F or low -70s would be record territory. I'd have to do some digging in my daily snow notes too, as I usually add those types of things in the comments.

Ha they actually aren't bad at all... still lush green everywhere somehow. Thick grass. We had 3-4" of rain in May but nothing in June so far... though each morning is some of the heaviest dew you'll ever see, everything dripping. I have to imagine the cooler weather in the means (-3 departures) have helped the grass and the rad cooling overnight gets us to the crossover temps and dew each night. My bet is if we were seeing low to mid 80s each day in this pattern they'd dry out real quick? I don't really know grass though, lol.

This morning was about as widespread lows in the 30s as I can remember for nearing mid-June. After tonight some spots will have 3 straight days with mins well into the 30s. Not sure I remember any recent June's in the past decade that could match that.

73/37 this evening... another top 10. Dews got as low as 31F this afternoon with 20-30% RH. Even dews of 50F+ will feel humid when they come back after 3-4 days of Tds in the 30s.

Saw 38F on my car leaving the house at 6am.... no frost. ASOS out in the field hit 34F again. Freezing temps again at SLK, BML, and probably HIE.

47F and falling fast at 10pm. A bunch of PWS on the west side of the mountain are already down to 43-44F, including a NWS mets station in Nashville, VT. If those spots are already in the low/mid-40s so early, could be a lot of 30s by morning. Gotta love how localized readings can vary and seems in these parts it's the 700-900ft elevations that get coldest. Like right now in Huntington, VT (West Slope, SE of BTV at base of Camels Hump)... 43F at 800ft while still in the 50s at the two 1,400ft stations. Cold settling into the river drainage at 800ft, while it stays warm up on the slope. The nuances of rad cooling.

Rare June frost advisory posted by GYX. BTV mentioned patchy frost but didn't think it was enough to warrant an advisory. There was a surprising amount of spots <35F last night, so probably better to err on the side of caution given similar dews this afternoon and no air mass change.

Ah I see what you were saying. My bad I thought you were saying June has been above normal despite seeming colder. I too was surprised to see the first 1/3rd of the month so solidly below normal as I thought ORH and BOS latitude was near normal, not -2.0 in the means. I do think there's been a tendency for slightly colder relative to normal the further north you go, but that's also likely a function of most of the ASOS being in mountain valleys, where radiative effects have been maximized this month due to the dry air masses and lack of rain. My bet is we are much more below normal on the minimums than the afternoon maximums due to the high diurnal ranges in these dry patterns.

June is pretty solidly below normal for most of New England so far. ORH is -2.1 BOS is -2.0 My local stations at MVL is -2.7 and MPV is -3.0. Up here June 1st was +19 and then every other day has been at or below normal. It probably looks below normal because it has been . This is the local dailies up here that get -2.7, but look at the first day of the month compared to the others. Add in today is solidly below normal too with 34F min. Normal is 72/48.

67/33 this afternoon... loving these past two days of dews in the 30s. Not too often do we see those air masses in June. Tonight could be a chilly one too.

Holy crap, 34F for the min at MVL. Wonder if we had any patchy frost out in the open fields.

71/38 out there this afternoon. Been a beautiful stretch of days in the mountains. https://i.imgur.com/BH1pKhE.jpg

Chamber brochure weather again today... After a low of 40F, it's back up to 72F with puffy Cu floating over the mountains. Cobalt blue skies and a breeze in this low RH air. SLK got to 34F last night, while BML was a frosty 33F lol.

lol March 2017 brought it back in the deep interior. Mitchy got his 42" death band this past winter. There be hope yet beyond thy knickers of Worecestire. On a serious note it would be nice to see what that graphic actually shows.

Wow did it get cold last night. Low of 37F at the ASOS. 33F at BML in NH.

Shutting the sliding doors and some windows... weird how quickly low-50s feels chilly. Not too long ago this was a mild evening. Now the house gets crisp on the low-dew nights. The other side of the mountains in BTV is 10 degrees warmer.

Top 10 type Saturday with temps in the low 70s and no humidity. 72/55 at 4:30pm with puffy Cu floating around.

62/53 here... good to get those dews back down into the lower 50s.

Certainly no mountain valley A/C this evening in NNE... dews near 70F at MVL/IZG/BML/HIE keeping the temps up. None of that rapid cooling at sunset that we get used to in between the mountains. This map is a little old, as its now down to 72-73F at those ASOS sites, but certainly not the 15-20F drop in 2-3 hours we've seen a lot of in the 8-10pm range lately.

This is about as humid as it gets up here. Was upper 60s for dews but some dying showers just pushed the ASOS to 70F Td. The best way for a humid evening is to just get clipped by the fringe of a storm with a few drops of rain, not enough for any evap cooling but all it does is increase the SFC moisture.

Nothing left at the Stake but widely patchy snow in the high elevation spruce forests. I'm up here now, funny this is what's left from like 8 feet of snow.
