I do this as well. I don't think it works but it makes my passive aggressive-self feel better.

https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=BTV&issuedby=BTV&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1 .NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/... As of 911 AM EST Thursday...And so the snow begins. At Whiteface Mountain, that is. The last few images of a webcam atop Whiteface Mountain show that freezing drizzle has changed to snow as the DGZ has finally saturated. This gives us strong confirmation that the snow level presently is around 4000 ft give or take 100 feet across northern NY with VT still hovering closer to 5000 ft as we still await some colder air aloft and some wet-bulbing likely to occur as the mid-levels saturate. Otherwise, rain is ever so slowly working it`s way northward with rainfall rates of a tenth of an inch or less per hour observed thus far. There is a good bit of bright banding going on across all regional radars given freezing level around 4000-5000 feet so don`t let the radar fool you into thinking heavy rain is falling across the Hudson Valley or coastal New England.

Two other issues at play. I assume some are using "auto-dim headlights" that are slow to dim or don't at all. Second is my daily driver sits low so pick ups, Subies, SUVs, trucks which ride high appear as having highbeams on when it is just obnoxiously bright LEDs. Fortunately there are so few pickups and Subarus in Vermont.

Is it really so hard to dim your *amn high-beams people?????????!!!!!!!!!!! Give drivers LED headlights and they lose all consideration for other drivers?

I'm not feeling too greedy so I will go ahead and lock this in for next week. Hopefully GFS will process the paperwork prior to the next run. Hopefully it will be a return to the world of exploding Miller Bs

It is gone in the 18Z GFS. Did no one lock it in?

Looks to be doing better as it gets further from Jamaica. http://www.insmet.cu/asp/genesis.asp?TB0=PLANTILLAS&TB1=RADAR&TB2=../Radar/05Pilon/plnMAXw01a.gif http://www.insmet.cu/Radar/05Pilon/plnMAXw01a.gif

Just mowed. Mostly to chop leaves but did tidy up what grass I have. (My lawn would give some SNE folks a heart attack. It is pretty bad thanks to awful soil in the flat area behind the house, it being a lower priority than getting the planting structure in place, and two labradors who run and dig everywhere. On the plus side the labs have effectively weeded out all the tendril spreading weeds in the back while playing fetch. Lettuce is still growing under a cloche but the potato plants (late planted) are now toast.

In contrast, I averaged 1.5" every three days from June through August last summer. What a difference a year makes. Raining lightly here.

Not me, I gripe about gnats and melt in the summer sun if I am doing anything physical and it is over 70. It never use to the case but it sadly is now. (90 and cloudy is no issue) We also didn't have gnats here until summer of 23. Cold I am fine with. Today was beautiful however.

Very true:

Ground is just wet at this point so I have no idea if it was snow or rain after I went to bed. It was polite enough to spit out a few flakes while I threw the ball for the Labs just now. Meanwhile a few miles away: https://www.wcax.com/2024/10/27/emergency-crews-battle-barnard-forest-fire/

There I was,in line at the bank... Hey I'm working here
