powderfreak Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I saw a fawn about that same size a week ago. i swear it was the size of a big cat/small dog. smallest i have ever seen by far. Yeah they stayed there for a few minutes and watching it was so funny...it was like just figuring out how to walk where it wanted to go. It was like turning in circles and stumbling. The mom never let it more than like 5 feet away without crowding over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I saw a fawn about that same size a week ago. i swear it was the size of a big cat/small dog. smallest i have ever seen by far. I saw one that size last week near me. It was laying in the grass and I wasn't even sure what it was at first, didn't see the mother, I assume she was off getting breakfast close by.

wxeyeNH Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Okay, since there is no weather to talk about (endless Sunny days are great for everyone but us nerds) I'll post a a drone flight from a couple of weeks ago. (June 4th) I love living up really high because I can legally fly the drone higher than if I started at lake level well below me. Video starts out at my house which was in the low clouds. As I come out of the clouds I turn west with Mt Cardigan in view. As I get higher you can see Killington on the west horizon. As I pan north Franconia Notch is towards the left middle. A bit to hazy to see Mt Washington, I can only make it out when its snow covered. Squam Lake is on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Dude that second one down...that's print worthy. Thank you! I had plans to climb the hump and fly this morning but they were closing the bridge before the trailhead and I would have been stuck. Fortunately there was river valley fog instead: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Just a fantastic day 80.6F for my high. Just looked at the new drought monitor maps. Moderate drought now in SW Maine, SE New Hampshire and NE Mass. Less severe drought areas expanding in Maine and NH and S NE. Vermont and N New Hampshire are fine with all the upslope showers. Hopefully with the fropa around Tuesday we can time front with daytime heating and get a nice solid line of storms to pass through New England.

ApacheTrout Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Very high and distant lightning visible to the north on the drive home from Middlebury to Orwell just now. The radar is showing a thunderstorm moving south of Burlington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 That view is absolutely awesome. Pure NNE right there. Total weenie view. You come up over the ridge line on 201 into Jackman and that view is just laid out in front of you. I had to crop that picture too to get rid of the powerlines in the way. It's nearly a full 180 degree sweeping overlook though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Terrible siting...requires wayyy too much LESCO to maintain. Cloud of black flies above that site FTL... But it's already in the lowest part of Jackman at around 1200 feet, plus sits in its own little bowl there on the property. Definitely on the radiator all-star team.

powderfreak Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 44F at MVL and 55F at BTV...been crushing BTV by 10-15F the past several nights with the good radiational set-ups. Very tight inversion this morning in Stowe...Mountain Road (where I live is along the road in view here) which sits in the valley bottom at 750-950ft had lows in the mid-40s, while the site up Covered Bridge Road at 1,150ft had a low of 57F. These temps have already come up 2-3 degrees from the lows (amazing how early the mins are, like 4-5am)...but you can still see how tight the inversion is. These sites are only like 300-400ft elevation difference, but with over a 10 degree change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Another Chamber day. Fantastic weather for Bike Week here in Central NH. Enjoying the highest sun angles of the year. Seems to make the sky bluer when the sun has less atmosphere to travel through. Shade is at a premium at midday. Briefly woke up at 3:30am and was amazed that the east horizon was already showing signs of dawn. Afternoon's Euro has about .10" of an inch for most of New England through 10 days. Still hoping some communities can score with Tuesday's fropa. Pic of the house around noon today with lightning rods and Davis station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more molecules the blue wavelengths have to travel through the more they are scattered away from your sight...hence why sunsets turn blue to yellow, orange, and then red.

I've always noticed how blue the sky is when I have traveled to Hawaii or the Caribbean islands and even South Florida. Dews are much higher which I guess would argue for more of a muted sky but air pollution is generally lower. I have always thought it was in part to high sun angle..

powderfreak Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 The last three days have been pure gold. Three days of low dews, crisp nights, and warm afternoons...and around 40 degree diurnal spreads. 80/43, 79/39, 84/43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I was in Waterbury just past Bolton. ...looks like you were literally above the JSpin Magic zone in the pass there by the hydro dam. Yeah, it looks like the image with the tent is Farr’s Field, just off to our southeast. It’s where they have the weekly Waterbury Flea Market and host various events throughout the summer. I didn’t get a chance to see what the tent was for this weekend, but that’s about a 10 minute walk from our place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a nice place to fly with great views and plenty of open space. They were obviously setting up for something and the tent added some nice drama.

wxeyeNH Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Great model trends today with the NAM and GFS. Bring the Thursday storm further north. 12Z GFS made a big jump north with substancial qpf all the way to the Canadian boarder. Lets see what the Euro does. A regionwide soaker would be super. Edit 230pm. Euro says nope, qpf mostly still stays south. Amazing differences with models within about 72 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 The evening before the FROPA is always the most uncomfortable... BTV pegging the front to come through around midnight. Its 78/60 at the local PWS at 9:20pm...10 degrees higher than it was at this time yesterday. No radiational cooling with the southerly flow ahead of the FROPA. Even turned the AC on in the living room, probably run it an hour just to take the bite out of it. Then let the cold front do its job later tonight.
