powderfreak Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Warm day today... looking through the high temps though I found something interesting that I wonder if its "local geography" related. BML at 1,150ft is in a valley and hit at least 83F (maybe 84F). BML was 83/53 for 37% RH. MPV is pretty much exactly the same elevation as BML, but on a hill-top plateau, not a valley. MPV never showed an hourly getting above 80F. Lowest RH was 80/58 at 47%. I'm thinking the difference between local topography in that MPV is more of a hill-top vs. BML's more valley situation, is what helped BML get several degrees higher (but lower dews) despite the two spots having identical elevations and identical ASOS equipment. There's probably something to be said for the ability to have compressional warming/drying off nearby higher terrain, than if one is sort of on top of the plateau and more in the "free air."

It wasn't your usual N to S gradient. Time sensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 850 temps climbed a bit from W to E yesterday. It wasn't your usual N to S gradient. Time sensitive. Nice. Still was enough for BTV, MPV, and MMNV1 to set record highs here in western New England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 A sign of the times. 9:20am and still with some patchy fog. You can just tell the sun has lost its oomph. The temp has actually dropped a bit in the past hour. 58.6F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those poults will need to eat hearty this fall to survive winter.They were all back this evening eating some fallen sunflower seeds under the feeder this evening. I'm guessing this means they'll be around more. I'll see how they progress. They're cute little buggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Frozen dew on the pickup roofand a bit of the windshield, temp was edging down to the freezing point. Biggest autumnal (even if calendar summer yet) cliff-dive in many years, from a seasonal low-to-date of 43 down to this morning's 32. (In 1983 in Ft.Kent we'd not dropped below 40 into mid-Sept, then came an unforecast 25 - could've used the green tomatoes for bocce.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked but nothing close to freezing on the truck at 38F. Excessive dew though, looked like it rained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreaves Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 We were fogged in this morning and the temp only got to 40° at my house. My car thermo did hit 36° in a non-fog area on the way in to work and MPV hit 38°. Absolutely gorgeous outside right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Overnight lows last night from BTV.... first freeze for parts of the Adirondacks and Northeast Vermont. Looks like some scattered frost was possible in some other areas too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Judging by this chart, it appears as though SLK just set a new "late freeze" record of September 21st. Old record was the 20th. Of course the record period for SLK is only 15 years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 It'll be interesting to see how the next two weeks go....Mount Mansfield's record late freeze is October 2nd, 2010 (same year of SLK's previous record, must've been a warm fall in 2010) but I could see us threatening that this year if we don't get a good solid sub 0C H85 temps into the region soon. MMNV1 doesn't radiate, so it needs to a good cold airmass aloft. One that can support snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
