You have any idea how/why 1V4 averages 2F warmer than MVL? I can't see how they would but the F-6 data has them being much below normal but with same temps as MVL.

It appears to be a legitimate difference. These are the raw averages from 1981-2010:

That's just so hard for me to believe, but I guess it must be right. I just think they are always even with us and often identical.

Love that last shot.

If you are ever in Stowe, take a drive up to Trapp Family Lodge (the same family from The Sound of Music)...the views from their property are amazing up at like 1,500ft and they have a nice deli and brewery up there. They get an amazing amount of snow up there too.

I have a nice summer tan, but being fair skinned that doesn't matter. Always get some burn and the dome always gets it. Didn't wear a hat

yeah same with my wife, not bald but definitely fair skinned. What a great stretch of summer. Looks like you get your lawn watered naturally next week.

Of course you would lol. Taber and Lahiff need to convert you to a winter snob...instead of reading about you slapping high fives in the AFD over January flood watches ;)

 

LOL, oh believe me I used to love the winter and snow and cold, until I moved to Vermont. Liked it less and less each year lol.

You have any idea how/why 1V4 averages 2F warmer than MVL? I can't see how they would but the F-6 data has them being much below normal but with same temps as MVL.

Just offhand, I would be it has to do with location. MVL is much less prone to downsloping. 1V4 gets downslope warming in the CT River Valley from any westerly wind OR easterly wind, and southerly warm air gets channeled northward in the CT River Valley. Only "favorable" upslope flow there is N/NE. It is also *fairly* more difficult to radiate in the CT River Valley when compared to MVL given the river and its location in downtown Saint Johnsbury.

 

I'm not as optimistic but I never am going into winter. Plus the advantage always seems to be in SNE prior to winter. I like to be pleasantly surprised ;)

For us to have above normal temps due to a block is not a good sign up here, lol if that's what you think will happen. That implies some freakin' stale air masses all winter if we are watching maritime air do circles around New England.

That maritime air may be garbage for true winter storms in NNE, but those wrap-around retrograde systems can give the greatest upslope :thumbsup:

Snowman what's the record at BDL for non 90 degree consecutive summer days?

Interesting question. You could look at this in multiple ways from maximum number of days between 90 degree days (Table 1) or the maximum number of days between 90 degree days intra-year (Table 2).

Thanks man will be interesting if they make it through September, I thought BDL records began in 1941?

Yeah those are the real west slope and CPV events. Retro grading lows seem to always have low Froude numbers and a lot of veering of the wind profile (like N at H7 and WNW at the BTV SFC)...aka the Jan 2010 storm with 36" in 3 days at BTV.
