Mr. Windcredible! Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 nice little storm moving through here now. nothing severe but about as good as anything we've had this summer...some gusty winds and some small hail and a decent amount of thunder/lightning.

Mr. Windcredible! Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 actually some pretty loud thunder here on the tail end of this thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Windcredible! Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 After some heat and quite a bit of humidity the last few weeks...today and tomorrow look absolutely gorgeous! Highs near 80 in the valley with low humidity. Temps comfortably back in the 50s tonight...upper 40s looking likely in the 'dacks. Mid-August through late October easily my favorite time of year. Weather can be a bit of a yawner unless there's a landfalling hurricane to track...but the combination of short-lived late summer heat and increasingly frequent cool downs, arrival of football season, fall foliage, county fairs, corn mazes, and the building anticipation of the the first snowfall makes for an overall wonderful time of year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Barely touched 70 here so far. Started pretty sunny but so called fair wx clouds have built to the point where we are BKN now.

Mr. Windcredible! Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 Watch up for Albany on south...warning just west of here right now. Could be a nice storm here if it holds together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 We had a very nice T storm around 1:30-2:00 PM and it crashed the temperature from the high of 77 to 64! Now a mere 68 and the sky has darkened again with drops starting and some rumbles. A lightning strike either hit the house or hit nearby and ricoched off it. I was touching a window closing it and felt a slight shock as the strike it. It felt like the kind of minor shock you get from static electricity. Watch up for Albany on south...warning just west of here right now. Could be a nice storm here if it holds together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJO812 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Wow, the storms up here in Lake George are insane. I am on vacation up here with my parents. I have some pics and a video of the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Windcredible! Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 Another active day. Round 1 just moved through Albany with a few warnings. Nothing crazy here...had some occasional thunder for about 90 minutes and a 15-20 minute downpour. Satellite shows things clearing out nicely to our west ahead of round 2 which is getting its act together back in WNY. Watch now up till 9pm tonight.

Logan11 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Yep round #1 is history except down into the Mid HV where a tornado warning has been out in Dutchess. They were just forming as they moved through here before noon. Another active day. Round 1 just moved through Albany with a few warnings.

Earlier convection seems to maybe stabalized things a bit from Albany north and west...note the current lack of convection or decaying convection N & W of I-88.

Mr. Windcredible! Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 Rather crummy week. Although its nice to get some cool refreshing air into the house! End of the week and weekend are looking very pleasant. Another week or two and we can begin thinking about the first frost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Windcredible! Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 first frost and freezes tonight away from the valley and north of saratoga. perfect apple picking weather tomorrow! fall is here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 My low was 37 out here.... Tonight should be a bit colder so what the British call a "ground frost" seems very possible even if we don't get to 32 at 2M. RE: Apple picking ...the most popular place for that in ALB area is Indian Ladder Farm between Voorheesville and Altamont on route 156. They always have a nice set up and farm stand, cafe etc. at the farm. first frost and freezes tonight away from the valley and north of saratoga. perfect apple picking weather tomorrow! fall is here!

Parsley Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 How is the fall foliage looking across the capital region at this point? Minimal at this point, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Yeah just starting out here at 1k feet west of KALB. A lot of trees are getting a little rust here and there, but 90% green... I bet it will start to move fast in the next couple weeks. I heard the high peaks in the Dacks are like 1/3rd. They tend to peak by very early October.

Logan11 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 36 was the low. I had a dew point of 33 after midnight, but we could never get down to it.... I didn't wake up early enough to tell you if there could have been any ground frost, but clearly not at 2 M. Assume no frost? Clouds kept temps up a good 3-5 degrees from forecasted lows.

Mr. Windcredible! Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 Woke up to some rumbles of thunder this morning. Looks like a watch possible this afternoon. Then looks like we'll turn cool and a bit dreary for the weekend. Early next week could be some perfect fall weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
