RIP my new bird feeder...the one night I forget to bring it in. Clip (April 30 2021 at 133 AM).mp4

Subcritical flow is not good normally for Stratton and Mt Snow. If its' really blocked the Taconics can trap the heavier stuff up by me and even Washington County NY can score a few inches and even block the good stuff from me on the Green's western slope. We aren't usually totally shut out even really blocked flow, but can limit maxing out on accum. Woodford normally is OK in any flow, the Taconics open up down by Bennington and the elevations are lower just to the north so the precip can bank up into there. Been a few times where Bennington itself has had more than up by me in Manchester when really blocked. I see Mitch just chimed in with some sounding stuff, so looks like it may make it to Stratton and even Mt Snow possibly.

Good for her for cashing in on this NFT madness.... 'Disaster Girl' selling original photo behind viral meme (nypost.com)

And yes, Deerflies are the absolute f'n worst! They almost picked me up at 4k at the top of stratton last summer and flew away with me.. May try this tactic this summer..

This is already a second or third wave of black flies down here, they have been out for a few weeks. I'm same as Diane, Deet does absolutely nothing to deter blackflies from me. I can bathe in it and they attack even more it seems.

Black fly apocalypse today..cloudy with a little bit of dews and they got very hungry.

Overall, the discussion is great, it does seem to veer off at times and get a little personal/political. Personally I really appreciated the insight from WhitinsvilleWx on the vaccine stuff, that has been really interesting to me. Stock stuff too.

Certainly seem to be on borrowed time with this thread...

Gene mentioned black flies, they actually came out last week here, was getting swarmed for a few days, thinking a few nights down to 25F and 30F this week knocked them back hopefully, haven't seen any since then. I'm sure it's only a matter of time till the next batch hatches...unfortunately.

I think you can get the 60 min and 90 min dogfish head in a lot of spots in New England, they have it at my local beverage spot in town here, so must be pretty wide spread i would think. DogFish head 60 and 90 got me into the IPA game about 11-12 years ago when I lived in PA. Enjoying a Doppelganger from TH tonight.

Pretty solid totals up north. 1.5" vaporized even under cloudy skies and 31.F max temp so far.

1.5". Nasty out there this morning.

Very blocked looking flow down this way at the moment...

Just picked up a Davis VP2 with FARS for $50 locally from a guy. He actually said he bought it from Burke Mtn about 10 years ago which is kind of interesting. Of course I had to get Dendrite to PM me all the pertinent questions to ask as I had no clue....ha. Even if it needs a few parts updated, seems like a deal. .5" total here. Some super light stuff coming down now. 29.4F (if the VP2 is calibrated right )

For sure...I dropped from 48F to 33F pretty quickly before this batch of precip even got in here.

This would have been a nice airmass to have last event..ha

32F and coming down pretty hard at the moment. Looking at radar most likely short lived, but maybe squeeze out 1".

I honestly can't believe you were doing it all these years anyway for so many, lot of extra work on your end---not hard for one person to enter in their own data. Thanks for keeping the thread going each year.

If you are checking regularly in the summer and are never seeing grubs underneath then I don't know if it is grubs. With that kind of damage you would see hundreds if not thousands of grubs when they are coming to the surface. My in- laws had some damage past summer where the lawn would pull up and when I checked underneath I saw about 12-15 grubs in just 1sq ft of lawn.

Yea, Woodford VT had 62" from that late FEB storm. Needed some elevation for the second part of that event, I would assume NVT higher spots did well, not sure about amounts.

Looks like ALY may have tossed that 19.2" from Marlboro VT Cocorahs, they didn't include it in their PNS from 1145AM. VERMONT ...Bennington County...

Going to spray this once things dry out a bit..see how it goes...

Yea, think that hit the Adirondacks a little harder. Near Whiteface Memorial day weekend:

Wow, Mitch only had like 7.5" at 1pm. cant imagine he has more than 10". What town again? Being a little further east helped with that band it seems. Measured 11.1" depth in Winhall around 2k..prob little more with a clear.

Prob end up with 2+" of QPF and 3" snow. Only a Trace in town, literally nothing sticking at all below 900' Couple months ago this thing would have been an absolute bomb for many.
