30F at 3,600ft and 41F at 1,500ft… 45F here with gusty winds.

The NW wind is crazy this evening. House shaking gusts at times.

This has to be the most NNE thing ever, haha. Classic. Recorded the first snowflakes on Mansfield today and first graupel at home.

We snow, legit flakes as this squall moved through at 3,600ft. Temp 35F.

Ha, right. It must be getting cold upstairs because we’ve seen more frozen cores in this. Summits are in the 30s now. The old low 50s but with dry low levels… gets real gusty, then rain before 90 seconds of frozen and back to rain before ending.

First frozen of the season. Heavy graupel. Completely frozen at home in this core.

Got 32F here. Third frost of the season.

Ok so it's hitting dew or small items at the surface. Is it any object, like houses, trees, etc? Or is it stuff that's very small, certain size and characteristics that are similar to hydrometeors? Sorry if I'm being dense, want to really wrap my head around this once and for all .

Ok, that makes sense. So the beam isn’t really hitting anything per se.

There’s something about fall golf that does it for me. The course is usually in the best shape of the season, and the leaves are great when still on the trees, ha. Hitting a ball into leaves, no bueno. Im playing a charity event at the Stowe Mountain Course on Tuesday, can’t wait. It’s the one time of year I get out on that track. Probably going to be frigid with those 850s.

I’ve been in this game too long to not fully grasp what ground clutter is… can you give me the digest version of it? What’s the beam hitting?

Glad we don’t live there. Not sure any forecast would call this partly/mostly cloudy anywhere though.

I feel like that was a Will/ORH thing… comfortable weather for business suits in Boston with blue skis and brochure weather. I don’t know but I feel like Will had something to do with that one.

What a morning. Backyard view coming along.

Tuesday looks like a chilly time to do it, ha.
