    73/73 at local PWS, 73/72 at MVL. Its tropical outside. Moisture feeding back from the ground into the atmosphere? It’s a swamp. Feeding back on itself. It rains, it pumps the dews by increasing ground moisture. Then the sun comes out and it gets hot, the surface steams moisture back into the atmosphere. The NNE jungle.

    I try and do detach myself from the humanitarian side/impacts, due to my love of extreme weather… but it’s been upturning people’s lives lately. I/We joke about the “covered bridges” pattern but these increased PWATs and moisture rich air masses are just devastating towns, almost one-by-one, in the rolling Vermont hills.

    Dude I pray .

    We are going to be like +5 for July here. I’ll need to see it first too before believing.

    Crazy that it maxed out right over the town. St J isn’t huge but it’s decent sized for that area in NNE. When do you get an 8” deluge to sit over an ASOS that’s oddly situated not at an airport but in the middle of town at the Fairbanks Museum. CoCoRAHS too.

    When you guys are getting deform bands and 30” in 12 hours this winter… I’ll have to think back and remember at least we enjoyed washed out roads.

    This is wild in the NE Kingdom.

    This is borderline unfathomable to be honest. A full 5-day average of -3 to -5 in mid-August… just doesn’t happen. Regardless of the poor AI model, tossed on any model.

    This thunder is crazy. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard it like this… cracking but then echoing almost. It’s bizarre, constant noise. Weird to get a storm to back in from the East.

    The wild flowers are firing all across the ski trails. The noise is what’s crazy though. It’s hard to put into context but it’s thousands and thousands of bees and insects going nuts over what’s likely 100s of acres of wild flowers. Every single flower has multiple bees or insects enjoying it… and it’s on an enormous scale. The “buzz” is pretty incredible to walk through.

    Wasn’t bad up here. 84F in the valley at MVL. Dews mid-60s. Above normal summer day in the mtns.
  12. powderfreak
    What’s your safe word?
  13. powderfreak
    Ahh if they are basing it on those amounts, that makes sense. The yellow and dark green pixels up here are about 50% of actual rainfall. It should be widespread dark orange.

    Interesting. Going back to May 1st, just hard to believe this swath of Vermont would be below normal even with any gauge input, regardless of radar limitations here.
  15. powderfreak
    That NVT stretch east of the Greens has to be from lack of radar coverage, right (area between Champlain Valley and NNH)? I guess I’m asking if this is radar generated instead of ground obs generated?

    Yeah and earlier 12z was wet. I just found it funny that he posted that an hour after 18z came in much drier on the mesos.

    Just waiting for the real estate prices to mature a bit more and then getting out of here. Maybe Newark or somewhere near there is the next life stop? This evening’s dog hike, dodging showers, in this god forsaken land.

    Needs a mushroom growing out of it but the mold is about right for this amount of water since June 1st .
  20. powderfreak
    That’s true. This is the first time it’s rained with dews in the 50s in a very long time. Orographic showers. The ones summer camps fear. All joking aside, it gets chilly in a hurry when it rains at lower dews. Immediate drop to 61-62F.
  21. powderfreak
    Raining again. Make it stop. 0.32” on the day. No memories getting made today.
  22. powderfreak
    Off and on showers. 73/65 Ran into a friend while walking the dog in town just now.

    There has to be other things than CC at play. This isn’t just like a half a degree Celsius of warmth that CC is supposedly adding to the background… it’s like +5 or greater most of these months lately. There has to be larger circulations causing this or feeding into it.
  24. powderfreak
    It’s the most jarring when we do get a few cooler afternoons but then people find it was still +10 at night… that’s the CC effect.
  25. powderfreak
    Yesterday here was +6 to continue one of the warmest July’s on record. Classic CC torch… 80/65 on a 79/55 normal. So +1 max and +10 min… +6 on the day.
