J.Spin Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 The cell that came through our area today dropped a decent shot of hail that actually had the ground white for a bit. Hail was up to ½” in diameter and I sent in a CoCoRaHS hail report with the full details – looking at today’s hail map I see that there was another report in Chittenden County upstream of us as well.

eyewall Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I chased to Charlotte by Philo and caught this pea sized hail. There were isolated dimes in there as well but it melted quick. This is an Instagram post. Better pics to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Looks like a rain foot with a microburst there. Was going to mention that as well. I'm wondering if there was any tree damage we haven't heard about yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Was going to mention that as well. I'm wondering if there was any tree damage we haven't heard about yet. Now you have to use MiseryMist in an AFD for Eek...we got a Picnic Table mention from Taber this morning. Meanwhile...thermal profiles continue to cool with progged 850mb temps near 1c by 00z thursday supporting snow levels above summit level...but cold air advection continues overnight with 850mb temps near -1c by 06z...and near -3c by 12z thursday. Nam bufkit sounding at jay peak shows freezing levels around 3500 feet by 03z...falling to 2000 feet by 12z thursday...supporting some wet snow flakes. thinking the best chance of a dusting to maybe an inch or so will be above 3500 feet across the dacks and northern greens...so the picnic table near the summit of mt mansfield should be white on thursday morning.

J.Spin Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Really great upslope pattern setting up Wed-Friday. Well, I can tell you that upslope mode already seems to be in place – at the house it was steady rain with those small upslope-style droplets, and here in Burlington it’s partly cloudy and the sun is out. Feels just like a classic Northern Greens upslope day that gets the mountain communities all those extra inches of precipitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to hike to the picnic tables early tomorrow morning. I was wondering if anyone would have a an issue there with me doing that. I want to get some June snow shots. Obviously not the drone (weather wouldn't allow it anyway). Also what is the best route on the ski trails to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one cares, you are welcome to do as you please. I'm concerned with freezing rain instead of snow as the snow growth zone is wayyyy up there and the orographic lift is fairly low. Might be hard to get snowflakes to develop at -2C to -4C. I'll be up top by 7:30am and can let you know if that's early enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was probably 70% peas, 20% nickles, 10% quarters. There was still a pile of it on the corner of my deck when I last checked at 10:30pm. Just finished leaf blowing the pine needles and leaf shreds off the driveway. New leaf blower made quick work of it. Up to 46 in Pittsburg.

Sugarloaf1989 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Mount Washington holding at 34F, pretty cold for June 8th. The NWS has 1-2" of snow forecasted for the higher peaks in the Adirondacks overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickly emailing with some NWS this morning the main concern is forming snowflakes and not super-cooled water droplets due to the relatively warm zone of lift (-1C to -5C). But it's definitely going to precipitate. And it'll be cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even put it into words that well but I've seen it enough to know that these marginal isothermal columns up to 6,000ft working on upslope flow can struggle to form flakes. I've seen it in May and September...the upslope freezing drizzle falling in sheets up there. Very small droplets but it adds up and soaks through quickly. Ice accums on the evergreens and grass blades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'd be better off if the mid slope temps were more like -6 or so, but the NAM is currently only about -4. A nice timber trouncer on the morning of June 9th would be great.
