    Western slope communities getting crushed.

    At 1.15" here. The western slope communities east of BTV in Chittenden County have gotten crushed. They got trained by several narrow bands of heavy rainfall and now the ULL and upslope flow is cranking. There are spots over 3" and pounding rain east of BTV. They could do 4"+ in this event.

    Some water coming to the drought zone. Likely overdone but a soaking rainfall en-route.

    Wind is blustery this evening. Sustained 15-20mph but gusts 30-40mph. Warm wind too... 64F off a high of 72F.

    Min of 26F Clouds have rolled in and it’s up to 38F. Broke down and turned on some heat for the first time.

    ORH warmest place in the interior northeast, by a decent margin. Only a few coastal spots like BOS can compete.

    We bust balls about the long growing season and fake cold… in the end none of it really matters until the snow flies. ULL around that early Nov period on the models occasionally, maybe you can thread the needle for birthday flakes.

    That’s insane to me.

    Down to 29F so far. SLK at 21F.

    Awesome, ha. Yeah App Gap on RT 17 gets up near 2,400ft passing MRG… no shortage of switchbacks. I bet there was rime ice from the high elevation clouds all up and down the Spine.

    Cold day. High was 32F up above 3,500ft. First true day requiring hat and gloves on the hill. Frosted tips from rime up high.

    One year ago today we had a healthy dump above 1,500ft. Tied for earliest 12” depth at the summit stake at 3,800ft. 10” at 3,000ft.

    Chilly fall day... sunny. Temp up top of Gondola is up to 34F off a low of 30F. Down here in the base area it's 46F at 1,500ft.

    Ha, the jackpot mentality yes. The old "I got 6-10 inches and couldn't be more angry about it because someone else got two feet"...

    Love how much of the discussion revolves around imaging this in winter and how elated or upset folks would be. Some things never change. Winter still rules the forum.

    Quite the orographic precip shield after that main band lifted north on models?
  17. powderfreak
    Yeah sad to see the changes. Descriptive and knowledgeable AFDs are the best part of the NWS (or were).
  18. powderfreak
    What? They issue AFDs like 4 times a day or used to? You hear from the NWS when it’s partly cloudy or when it’s a big deal. That is/was the value of it. I read the man updates almost daily and I bet many on here do too.

    18z HRRR is wet for eastern SNE.
  20. powderfreak
    That’s an angry ocean haha.
  21. powderfreak
    Just ripping most of the night. Sustained 35-40mph, gusts 45-50. Its still hammering pretty good.
  22. powderfreak
    I honestly am not sure… enlighten me. The strong jet stream shearing energy apart? Hadley Cell? Lack of amplification?
  23. powderfreak
    Models show about 40kts moving in tonight on OBX and hotel room is about 50 feet above the dunes facing east. Could be a little fun on the balcony as the low level jet moves through.
  24. powderfreak
    Been sustained 20mph with gusts to 35 here on the OBX shore. We see this at the summits but the vast majority of inland locations don’t see this… the ocean front sustained 20kts on the dunes is fun weather. Cant imagine what a true 40kts+ sustained feels like off the ocean. The sustained part is important… it’s not gusts.. the air is just always moving at that speed at all times.
  25. powderfreak
    From hard freeze to OBX. Wind is steady out of the east with blowing sand on the dunes. Ocean is rough.
