I'm sure a drunk college kid or two has thought it might be a good idea lol. Me personally, I only go swimming at places that require you to scale a barbed wire fence.

eyewall Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Nice dude! I was thinking the Winooski must be pretty damn impressive right now from all that rain flowing into it and the heaviest rain occurred in its general basins. It is for sure. I plan on going back late this afternoon into the early evening to get some more shots as it is certainly still rising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL yeah your swim would be a very short one. They would find your body downstream a little later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I wonder what the reasoning is for the no swimming sign. Looks like a pleasant place for a quick dip. It is actually. Kayak companies put into the river just below the dam on the opposite bank. I've done it numerous times, obviously not when its flowing like that.

wxeyeNH Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 It's 4:45pm and I'm at 44.9F. I can't find a reporting station in the Continental US that is as cold as me right now. I doubt that has ever happened before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I went back to the river early this evening and wow at how much more intense it was.

The water levels have started to come down. I caught it nearly at its peak it appears. The gauge at Essex Junction is 3 feet lower than when I took these yesterday or so.

powderfreak Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Another excellent MVL ASOS fail over the past 24 hours... its proving to be quite useless at recording precipitation, again in sort of long duration light rain situations where it should be like 0.01-0.05" per hour. I had 0.42" of rain, the Stowe CoCoRAHS station had 0.44", just to the south of MVL....while north of the ASOS had 0.33" at the Hyde Park stations. Yet somehow the ASOS came in with 0.00". And yesterday it only recorded "Trace" amounts of hourly precipitation all day long. What I find odd, is that it seemed to be doing fine up until 12z yesterday when it was actually measuring precip, and then all the sudden just switched to reporting "T". Check out the change at 7:54am yesterday morning when it was reporting precip to going over to just T's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Between 7 AM on Memorial Day when we left to visit family in SNJ (where it was dusty dry until yesterday morning) and 9:30 last night, the gauge picked up 1.94", plus another 0.31" thru 7 this morning. From neighbors' reports and nearby stations, I'm guessing about half an inch came in Thursday's TS, nearly all the rest from the current system. It was 64 (car thermo - seems to register +1F or right on compared with better instruments) with a TS having ended when we left Gloucester Cty, NJ about 7:30 yesterday morning. Temps slid down toward 60 as we drove north in NJ (+RA for miles 130-160 on the GS Parkway, but less than at points east where people were picking up carp on the streets), then upper 50s in SNY with +RA. Temps dropped thru the 50s as we traveled I-84 in CT, to where it was 49 at Charlton rest area on the Mass Pike. Dipped to 46 with +RA and wind in ORH, then bounced between 46 and 49 all the way to New Sharon. Low this morning was about 41, and it probably has reached only 46-48 this afternoon. This after Tues-Sunday in NJ featured highs 85-90 (92 at PHL Sunday) with dews mid-upper 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Lots of all-time state records with that. The 106F here at ASH. 105F there in Vernon. 105F in North Bridgton, ME. CON had 100+ a few days that month. Even the Franklin COOP here had 103F IIRC. Bridgton reached 105 on both 7/4 and 7/10, 1911 (7 AM obs time, I think, so subtract one day for the actual max), and also had 2 days at 102 and one at 103 during the period 7/3-11. Even with highs of 90/86 on July 7/8, those 9 days had highs averaging 99. Farmington, Maine missed the state record by only 1F on 7/10/1911, and touched 102 on 3 other days during an 8-day run of heat - avg high was 98 for that week-plus. Avg low there was 62, so I don't think it was especially sticky, just the typical WNW-driven NNE record heat. They've only reached triples twice in the ensuing 103 years, with 100 in 6/1944 and 101 on "Hot Saturday" in 8/1975.

J.Spin Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Top 2-Day CoCoRAHS reports from VT... Models actually did a very good job with focusing the heaviest rains in central VT, as the heaviest precip zone is Washington County bounded by Waterbury, Warren, Waitsfield, Middlesex, Berlin, MPV. With the final liquid in the gauge this morning, it looks like the total will be 3.97” for this past stretch of wet weather. The May portion of the event brought the month’s rainfall to 4.85”, so the month still came in low, but not notably so at 93.8% of average. May was the wettest month since December. Precipitation for the calendar year is still lagging somewhat at 14.52” or 77.5% of average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Now that May is over, I’ve started incorporating this past winter season’s data into my records, and I’ve updated my winter weather summary table; the 2014-2015 data are in the top row. The most notable aspect of this season with respect to the chart is that it set a new low point for largest storm of the season. Of course it actually stole that designation from the previous season, which speaks to how these past couple of seasons have gone with respect to larger storms. Also of note is how incredibly close the total snowfall has been over these past three seasons – they all came in within less than two inches of each other. While the past three seasons have been a bit low on snowfall, they have all been above average with respect to the number of accumulating storms, with this past season delivering 55 of them. A value that isn’t on the chart, but is one that I have in my records from my CoCoRaHS data, is the number of total days during the season with snowfall. This season came in with an above average 101 days. That’s probably tied more to the above average number of storms vs. the below average snowfall.

tamarack Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Ecellent data, as always. I'm surprised at the modest number of SDDs compared to what I recorded. Given my snowfall total and the extended cold, I considered my snowpack to be rather mediocre, but the 2,418 SDD total is nearly 70% above yours, and 140% of my avg while your total was 97% of yours. We got 2.17" LE from the Jan blizzard, probably about 10X what you had, and that made all the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
