86/63 is on the higher end of the distribution for summer weather up here. Its a hot one today.
-
We have had a lot of pleasant days for sure, we had some mornings as low as 43F. I know a lot of this in the summer comes as a response to one poster’s claims, but there is definitely a difference in how above normal months and below normal months are talked about. That was what I was getting at, but my (and a lot of posters apparently) reading comprehension isn’t that good lol.
-
I mean I’ve got my cold moments and you’ve called me a captain of ACATT....but it’s usually just because of our climate differences. It’s hard to ignore the departures though, especially the SNE ones this month.
-
Ha, ok. We do this every time there’s an above normal month in the summer. It’s like you try to minimize it somehow. But in a below normal month it’s just cheers. There’s no dissecting it. In a cold month no one is like “yeah but there was that hot day a couple weeks ago and the daytime temps were comfy.” It seems a lot more effort goes into minimizing hot departures.
-
lol. It’s the same every summer. Someone says it was a very warm month, +3 to +4 or something.... then someone says no, it was chilly last Tuesday. If January is -4F, it doesn’t seem like we spend days trying to poke holes in that narrative like some do during the warmer departures.
-
Yeah the new normals should help make it seem not as torchy during some of these periods.
-
So why does this get you so riled up anytime someone says it’s getting warmer?
-
Just fully on fire since I moved up here in 2003.

No one would take the Sox bullpen. Offense needs to keep sporting them 8-run leads.
-
Ha, Yankee fans on social media were swan diving from the George Washington Bridge last night. Until someone else wins it, the Red Sox are still the reigning World Series Champs.

Seems to happen from time to time on the east side of the mountains, we’ve done well with SVR over the years. You can watch the VILs blow up over the high terrain and then collapse out once east of the Spine in a wet downburst.
-
Yeah that’s why I didn’t get any pics that time, ha. The cubs shrieked, mom snapped to attention, dog was barking so I grabbed the dogs collar and we took off back up the trail. The dog had no desire to go see what those animals were, it was her first bear encounter but could tell from my body language it was time to get out of there.

I hate not having power, ha. 2,000 customers out in Stowe right now.
-
Just had a severe downburst hit Stowe. Listening to Lamoille County Dispatch on our ski area radios, they’ve got trees down at Stowe High School (clearing trees from road). Power pole down on Holmes Lane in Stowe Village. Power Lines down on Shaw Hill Road.
-
We’ve had a ton of bears around the ski area lately, the dog and I ran into a mom and two cubs last week. This one yesterday though spent 8 hours in the Spruce Peak Base Area just destroying the custom landscaping. They of course planted trees with berries on them that the bears think are skittles. Looks like a severe storm went through with broken branches and limbs everywhere. He climbs up, rips the trees apart and then goes down to eat the berries.

Wrong camera settings on the fly...iso was wayyyy too high. Just barely had time to whip it out (ha). Didn’t adjust, just shot.

Made a new friend this afternoon. He said, "I'm not even sweating today, and I've got this fukkin' coat on all the time."
-
I mean that’s how most heatwaves go... BDL hits 90F for a few days, ORH gets to 82F or so, and most spots are upper 80s. Its takes about +5 or +6 on the average high at BDL for a heatwave.
-
Kevin will never have an inaccurate summer month forecast if the month ends up above normal...just how it goes. If it’s hot in summer he’ll be right and if cold and snowy in winter, chances are he called for that too.
-
I agree with you, time for you to start using their dews too.
-
Can tell a dry hot air mass when we have days of 52F min and 86F max (yesterday), followed by 53F this morning and now back into the 80s. I love the low-50s at night and mid-80s by day.
-
Important to note this is for ASOS and official stations. Not backyards under trees.
-
BDL with 30% RH at the end of July? Two hours ago it was 87/52.... that’s some really dry stuff for this time of year.
-
64F near 7pm...lawd have mercy. Actually the same dew at MVL... at noon it was a dew of 55F, but a little evening temp drop brings the dew up to 64F. Probably the same for DIT... mid-50s all afternoon with Chamber folks trying to get brochure photos for the real estate agents.
-
Don’t they do state rankings based on all the COOPs and official sites? Be curious where it would end up in the means... at least a top 10 warm July for CT?
