I'm not sure you understand mosquitoes. Those suckers started coming out in April as the snow melted. They love transient snowmelt pools in the higher elevations, too.

Tons of standing water around... fukkin fantastic for the already obnoxious mosquitoe season.

66/65 1.60" so far... just missed the 2.50-3.00" amounts by about 10-15 miles. Wet pattern though since May 1st with over a foot of water in that time.

Escalating quickly. Lots of 1.5-3.0" so far and looks like a decent amount of rain still coming.

It is pouring. Radar looks like we are in it for a while.

He loved it when he was in BTV and the kids were playing soccer. Walking through low dew air and 70s sunshine sipping beers on Bank and Church Street... don't let him fool you.

This had me laughing. The summer is all about selling weather. Make a bold statement in April or May about the summer and then spend the next 3 months spinning every model fart to prove one was correct with their thinking.

We wish. Looks like both GFS/NAM have over 2" here. Thats some heavy rain building in NY state moving towards NNE.

It's like a semantics sporting event all summer. Team A vs Team B.

Ha, I had fun playing there a couple times when I lived in BTV. Great location right on the lake. Bring the poncho.

The state of Vermont put out some photos of the Stowe landslide in the Cottonbrook area and man, it's pretty impressive. I still don't get how this happens, it's like the earth just ripped out 25 feet deep and the entire side of the hill avalanched. Just tossed the trees like toothpicks. Fascinating report from the State Geological Survey... https://dec.vermont.gov/geological-survey/hazards/landslides/cotton-brook "The main, active landslide area encompasses approximately 14 acres but cracks and scarps in the woods indicate that there are many other detached blocks. There is a high potential for additional failure and trails have been impacted."

Looks like it's about to get wet over the next 2 days. The globals and mesos both seem to like 1.5-2.0" around these parts by Friday afternoon. Just south of here might get smoked even more, as the models like a MPV-HIE type axis for real heavy stuff.

How you draw it up...point forecast has Saturday 71/48 and Sunday 76/51. Saturday...Partly sunny. Highs around 70. Saturday Night...Mostly clear. Lows in the lower 50s. Sunday...Sunny. Highs in the mid 70s.

Props to that. Anyone sitting inside at 85F while it's 71F outside earns the right to hump the heat. That's a true warm season fan there. None of this humping heat and posting a pic of the console showing 67F inside.

You are trying way too hard today lol. Today was beautiful at 80/58 for a couple hours this afternoon.

I mean I would've rathered positive departures in April/May and then a bit below in July/August to extended the perfect weather (warm up quickly to 70s then stay there for a while).

From below normal to normal temps for the past few months, to finally signs of some more consistent positive departures.

Wishcasting is what we do best. Seasonal wishes constantly touted eventually come true.

Beautiful day. Mid-upper 70s. 76/54 right now. BTV near 80F with dews low 50s... how you draw it up in June.

I have no data but I get the feeling from talking to people that the aggregate of taxes in VT is higher than NH.

Ha, it has been flipping back and forth it seems. Maybe those lower heights in the Maritimes finally succumbs to the ridging in the middle of the country.

Yeah the politics between VT and NH can make that decision for some, and VT will tax you to death in retirement. Winter will be winter and moving anywhere in the mountains of VT/NH/ME will bring more winter than CT. Though I bet what you guys would notice most is the more consistent snows, not storm size as SNE is pretty damn good for individual storms...you probably have just as good a chance of 18"+ events in Tolland as you would have up in NNE. The real big difference is the more frequent light to moderate events, as well as more events in the bookends of the winter (like Nov or Apr) and more wintry appeal for longer periods of time throughout the winter.

Valid point, but July 1st is 2 weeks away... the next 7-10 days seem fairly similar departures to what we've been seeing, it's that end of the EPS runs in Day 10-14 that looked milder.

12z EURO continued to want to dig a trough into the northeast every few days. Up this way there were 2-3 times in the next 10 days it wanted to lower 850mb temps <10C. I know Tippy has been all over it but that persistent lower heights over the Maritimes just won't let the heat build in here. I feel like when it comes, it's going to come all at once. Eventually that trough will disappear and it'll just furnance from the middle of the country up through us. But until then, this is what we have. Day 5 trough: Day 10 trough:

Good point. Like when you see the opposite with neggies on the highs but positives on the mins, you know its been wet/cloudy/humid. Overall, no complaints at all this month after the prolific rains of May. We've had 2-3" of rain so far in June but far cry from the 8-9" in May.
