mreaves Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 We've had a little rain. You can almost hear the ground sucking it in. Would like to see some more as our course is dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava Rock Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 0.29" last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Two separate "storms" dumped all of 0.05" yesterday, the first at about 4 PM being our initial TS, though of the "one-boom" (but a good one) variety. Saw some flickers to the south about 9 PM - some folks there got about 3/4" and CMP was up to 9,000 customers in the dark at one point. Just stratus and a bit of dz so far today.

eekuasepinniW Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 I guess miserymist doesn't like to be anticipated. Might have to remove it from the thread title. Or make a post suggesting there won't be any. Heavy miserymist in progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Getting hit good with a thunderstorm producing frequent cg's here in Winooski. Fire engines are responding in several places that I can hear. Unfortunately I was not in a position to get any shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Yeah same here in Colchester, lost power for about 15 minutes. A brief outage here. I am guessing it had to be elevated instability. I didn't have chance to really look into it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Last snow pile (from plow) at the bottom of my hill about to go... Winter Storm Warning for the Aspen CO area above 9000 for 4-8". Bro's house is around 8600. Could be an Aspen bender as looks like trees are leafed out. Snows coming over the mountains now. Aspen at 8000 is 42/32F. Hey nothing interesting here can just watch my brothers webcam and see what happens later this Pm and evening. Did he end up getting snow? I saw this photo from Beaver Creek and Vail area this morning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klw Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 nice downpour here in St. j but no thunder heard by these ears. I got soaked through on my run. It looks like the back door front got here right before the storms did. Can see those streaky clouds just to the west of the CRV up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Did he end up getting snow? I saw this photo from Beaver Creek and Vail area this morning... Yup, he got about 5". I should have snapped this AM picture of the green Aspens covered with snow and the brilliant blue skies. Anyhow it melted very fast today. Here is a late afternoon shot and it mostly gone. Slopes still have snow if you want to hike. This is the first year of them living there so it will be interesting to see how the 14,000 footers in the background maintain snow.

Anyhow it melted very fast today. Here are 2 pictures, one yesterday as the snow started and another one from late afternoon shot and it is mostly gone from his yard. He had no tree damage but some areas did. Slopes still have snow if you want to hike.

powderfreak Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Went out to check the stratus rain gauge now that it's tapered off and was shocked to find 0.93" in the tube. If we can pick some more up before 7am it would be the first 1"+ daily precip amount in quite some time. 1.26" in the past 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApacheTrout Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 0.72 inches of rain. Two day total of 1.08, thus ending the Epic Drought of 2015, and the horrific period of deep summer that brought many farmers to their knees, begging bankers to extend their lines of credit while their crops failed, wildlife into town in search of water, and a tremendous flock of vultures feasting on the young lambs who couldn't make it through the tremendous heat.

In other news, my camel farming venture has taken a serious hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Had 0.11" in the bucket this morning and 0.09" during the day yesterday, so 0.20" reported to cocorahs and 0.25" for the month to date. Baby steps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Great graphic, illustrating the effect of the mountains on precipitation. Yeah it does look to have some terrain influences but on a broader scale...as opposed to very acute meso-scale terrain effects we see at times. This is more of a general uplift over the hilly terrain. The BTV daily climate maps are pure win. I'm surprised other WFOs don't have them. You can go back any day to 2007 and find these maps with temps, precip, snowfall, snow depth, etc. Awesome stuff when looking over past weather events in the area.

powderfreak Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Just checked and picked up another 0.31" this morning after 8am. Up around 1.75" for the past 48-72 hours, which is just what the vegetation needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
