58 at home and 57 at CEF. With at least 12 or so more hours of this to go should be a clean slate by then.

I wish the ground would thaw out faster so we could drain some of this rain and snow melt into it. There was a good 3-4" of liquid in the pack.

Yours will be wiped out too. It happens

 Congrats MPM on the flood warning

He should be pumped that ORH and Tolland are raining....usually means snow jackpot for him

It’s completely insane in Vermont right now. Near 2k and it’s warm out. The snow pack is disappearing before your eyes 

Not even 2K is safe--looks like mid 50's at 2500ft at Stratton.   Hours and hours to go to until the cold oozes in.  Obviously down here in the valley we are taking an absolute beating.

Lol,  all of you Boston area weenies think he is in the Berkshires, he is actually only about 8 miles west of Greenfield.

 It might be a little heavier at his house but honestly it has not rained that hard here today.

 Still 46° in downtown Greenfield which is amazing because I just came from Springfield and it was close to 60°.   Snow is already gone in the lower Valley still boundary to boundary coverage here but that won't last.

 Well yeah, there is only woods and wild animals W of ORH.

 I know where he is it’s been raining pretty hard there

 Greenfield must be right on the edge of the heavier precipitation,  I have not been home to check the gauge but it's been mostly light with moderate the past half hour.

 It’s definitely more out by Adams and Pittsfield 

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Wow,  temperature just shot up at like 8° in about 10 minutes.  52F downtown now.

I've got family taking a noontime flight out of BDL on Saturday (1/13) - reading about these flash freezes, any guesses if they'll be OK?  Their plane is coming from TPA landing at 11:30am.

I know that this situation is no where near this, but do you know it it is true that there was a temperature change (warm to cold) so drastic that cattle died from it?

Adams has big hills on both sides, that will be some serious run off.

Muggy....glad some of us never uninstalled

[wxeyeNH]

Heavy rain  53F   .85"  under training cells.  Small streams are over bankfill.   16" on the ground last evening.  Looks like about 7" left.

Also point of interest.  Just drove down 500 feet in elevation off my hill  44F down below...

[HIPPYVALLEY]

 Driving isn't fun today.

Perhaps you are thinking of what is called "The Great Die Up of 1887" It was over a longer period of time but thousands and thousands of cattle died.

I’m at Stratton right now and it’s warm as hell even at the summit. This is absolutely destroying the mountain. Almost all the natural snow is gone with huge bare spots and ice

Yeah, not that I don't think there was snow involved.  Was a severe temp drop... Day after Tomorrow type stuff.  Could be just b.s. though.

Quality pic.  Are you sure that isn't the same camera that you used to capture pics Big Foot in the 1970's?

Hmmm. Never heard that name.  I thought it was quicker, but maybe that was it.

[dendrite]

What a disaster. Deluge after deluge and bouncing between 46F to 55F depending on the wind. There's an easy foot of water in my run. Looks like we're not done based on radar.I wish we could push this all east and let the ground soak it in.

I have a feeling there will be bare spots in the pack some tomorrow morning. We've got another 12-15hrs of this nonsense.

The book Acts of God The Old Farmers Guide to Weather and Natural Disasters has an excellent write up on it.
