Tough crowd here lol.

Creemee to milkshakes in seconds. Just feels like the new normal more and more every summer.

84/72. Man I love when the dews are 22 degrees warmer than the average low, ha.

There’s no way that’s accurate in VT and upstate NY is there? I’m at like 7” since June 1.

Ha, I mean BOS and BDL are +3.2. Its been a warm start to the month.

High of 88F here, HI got to 91F. Average high of 79F. +4 start to the month.

86/63

It was that Powder Magazine article in 1995 and he was featured in others in the late ‘90s that tuned me into him as a kid. They always used to reference him in the skier’s periodical of record. Good find!

Got absolutely f*cked a little while ago on Spruce Peak above 3,000ft in the core of this. Dime sized hail and the heaviest rain imaginable… had to be 3”/hr stuff. Route turned into a muddy torrent. Still was able to submit the hail report to BTV during it, hiding out in the entryway to the patrol building . That shit hits differently at that elevation. Thunder and lightning gives you pause.

They have been renovating it for the past two summers. 9-holes at a time. The back 9 is this summer's project and right now is all dirt and some new sod. This has to be washing that dirt away... I still can't remember this type of gradient with 2"+ and counting here and 0.16" a mile SSW in the heart of the Village.

It’s moved back in here. 2.74”/hr rate. 2.12” and climbing.

1.30" now, that 0.50" was short lived. It just keeps reforming. It's like dry a mile SE of here in RT 100/108 intersection. Rainfall rate peaked at over 2"/hr but is back down around 1"/hr. @klw looks like they just fired off a Flood Warning from here to your office.

That entire image is like 2 miles across, 3 miles tops corner to corner. Just getting crushed with localized rain now again. My house is the dot. Mountain is sunny 5 miles away. Gotta make up our deficit from Weymouth this morning.

It’s always fascinating how localized convective rain is. I live on the south side of the Stowe Country Club (say near the "C" in club)… around a half inch so far today but increasing. North side of the golf course is over 1”. A mile SW in center of Stowe Village is only 0.08” (that’s the Cocorahs station spot). A half inch difference across the golf course is wild though.

Had 0.31” this morning.

Scoots taking a cleaver to webbed hands.

It’s true, if you see a bear video on social media from a black bear doing something funny, it’s like either from VT or CT. Theres a ton of bear content coming out of CT, mostly higher population and all with cameras now. But yeah, I do notice it’s either VT or CT it seems like, and especially western CT into adjacent NY (like Columbia and Dutchess Counties). I wish I could post videos on here. My buddy has one of a bear a couple weeks ago chewing on his Amazon package on his ring camera… another one has a bear rolling his grill off his deck.

It’s tough at times, but we find a way. Us and the bears. A couple days ago a family returned to their multimillion dollar Robinson Springs home in Stowe and a bear was sitting in their kitchen eating food from their freezer. Opened an unlocked door and walked right in.

Beautiful 81/55 to start the dog loop, 79/57 to end it. Dews in the 50s felt nice.

Yeah looks like HRRR has the afternoon stuff south on Long Island.

This is 3pm tomorrow to 3am Friday. There’s some training across CT on NAM tomorrow afternoon/evening. I’d imaging FF threat if a second round moves over the same area that got hit tonight early tomorrow.

Yeah he’s awesome. I share with him all of our Stowe data each spring. He’s the OG compiler of ski area snowfall info across North America.

It blows my mind that our normal at MVL is 79/55 right now. Like today was the "cool" day at 77/63. How the hell did we ever average 79/55 in July over like the last 30 years? That implies it could be cooler than that like half the time.

High of 78F in town, low-60s up here.

Nice day, cooler and drier. Only some low clouds trying to make it across the Spine/barrier and failing to do so.
