Your trip sounds excellent. :) I anticipate some great pics when you get home!

I was in Iceland as a kid in the 70's, Stockholm in 2000 and Copenhagen as a kid.... But never up in that far northern area of Norway.

Random question not related to the nor'easter, but why doesn't radiation fog form very much this time of year? We get it in Stowe Village at the base of Mansfield pretty much any clear night in August/September/October but we don't get it as often in April/May/June.

Is it the solar cycle and long daylight this time of year that makes that extra cooling in the valleys difficult? Later in the summer (like mid/late July onward) it'll be like clock work that we decouple into the 40s and 50s under high pressure, with fog forming at the exact same elevation every morning...like 700-1200ft.

Checking www.timeanddate.com .... We (ALB) gain 9 more minutes of sun in the evening and 2 more minutes in the morning.

Then we head back toward the best season. :) Already on 6/22 we lose a minute in the AM, but takes awhile in the evening.

Nice and sunny here attm, 64F. Crisp feel to it. Making th most out of it while we can

22z run of the HRRR did a pretty decent job of forecasting the slow down/pivot of the band of heavy rain. Keep in mind this run was rolling around 00-01z, but plenty of heads up that 4-6" totals would be reached. Pretty good job on the location too, maybe shifted too far west by 20-30 miles.

I was commenting on this to my wife the other day. When I drove down into the CT River valley you could see radiation fog but I didn't see it in the Willimantic River valley when I left home. It had that early fallish look to it and you don't see that too often this time of year.

I think it does have something to do with the sun and low level moisture that is different in late August/September. The sun gets up awful early this time of year and so I think that fog doesn't have a chance to form as well.

Well in June, those long days do help to prevent fog formation. In later August and especially September..longer nights and moisture near the ground with the help of plants and evapotranspiration aid in fog formation. In April and sometimes early May..it might be a little too dry and sometimes windy for fog formation.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

Both MAV MOS and MET are forecasting a record low max for ORH tomorrow...MET has BDL tying its record low max.

Quick question - where can I find updated records for SNE stations? I have my own but they are fairly old and the ones I see online for BOX are 10 years old. FWIW, my local record 28 year low max for tomorrow is 58°. June 5th it's 52° and I'm wondering if that was a record for nearby climo stations.

I was up till 4 AM today and first hints of light here at that time. No wonder you can't get a lot of radiational fog. The folks in Maine should properly be on Atlantic time so dawn must be ridiculously early.

Want to talk about early daylight, I keep moving further north and where I am now the sunsets at 11:45pm and rises at 3:10am. And thats not including civil twilight for 45-60 minutes before and after sunset/rise. Its only dark for like 90 minutes a day. This is the first place I have ever been where someone has said,"Lets go sit outside in the sun" after 10pm at night.

Looks like the weather improves by the time I get home later this week after a month of traveling. Impressive rainfall totals in Maine though, wow.

You can't really get the daily records updated outside of the first order sites on BOX...even then they only have it in the daily weather summary. I have tried to keep ORH's daily records as they change since 2002.

Man looking at vis...it may be tough inside 128. I'm not sure if we clear.

It was interesting this morning. At 8am it was gray and drizzle at times, with a stiff breeze in Ayer. Out west at Barre Falls damn it was partly sunny, and by the time we finished disk golf it was mostly sunny. Came back home to Ayer and it was partly cloud with occasional droplets of rain on the wind shield. It is just now gone mostly sunny here.

It looks pretty lousy to me. It was never supposed to be heavy rains, just periodic rains and some wind. Probably 20-30mph stuff for BOS area.

We're on the south side of the cyclonic axis and are cashing in on some brief NVA/subsidence. But as that axis slips back S the wind is going to flip around and punch saturated GOM air all the way to NYC. Boston may not make it out of the 40s tomorrow. T1 on the FRH grid is locked at 10C for 30 straight hours, from 6z tonight until dawn on Tuesday. 20-25 kts for 12 straight hours with persistent mist and light rain is just ugly ugly ugly and there is no rationalizing that.

Heat signal is growing in the extended though. ECM cluster appears more +NAO like D9 onwards, and both operational ECM and GFS have +2SD ridge evolving in the east.

Be patient ...
