Lava Rock Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Yesterday's high of 88 at CAR is their warmest for so late in the season - have to go back to the 10th to match/exceed it (89 in 2002.) Sunday's 85 was also latest-warmest, for one day only (and the 23rd has a top of 86, set in 1965.) They've reached at least 87 today. GFS keeps us dry or nearly so out thru day 14 - would make 30+ days with less than 0.1" precip. Maybe we can imitate 1947 - normal to AN precip thru midsummer, then dusty dry and fiery.I'm gonna have to turn off the lawn sprinklers at some point. KBG has sprouted but going on two weeks watering now. Wish we'd get something from the skySent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you could probably infer near 90 highs and 70s dew points. that's remarkable. I bet there was a sick EML present Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's state forest and the Long Trail runs through there, along with the best backcountry skiing in the East. That's why Stowe is known for its off-trail skiing...you can ski from the top of the Gondola or Spruce lifts, down into the Notch (which also collects snowfall very well) and with the road closed in winter, you just ski down RT 108 back to the lifts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Yes. It closes off that way out of Stowe...since there are big mountain ridges on the east side (where you hiked today) and west side of town (Mansfield), the only way out of Stowe in the winter is due north to Morrisville on 100 or due south to Waterbury. It takes about 45 minutes to get to Smuggs in winter despite it being like a couple miles away as the crow flies haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is 3 days above 90F. I know my thermometer is reading high for some reason but it seems we have been hotter up here at 1100 feet then places at lower elevations. Can someone explain this? Also I didn't realize what is going on with all these butterflies but our wild purple Asters have been covered with these butterflies the past few days. I got to do a quick video tomorrow!
