Awesome dude!  These are my favorites yet...in over a decade I've never seen those angles of Mansfield.

Thank you and definitely I agree it is some of my better work so far if I had to personally critique.

Wasn't expecting this much rain so far today.

Just went over 1.00" at the ski resort base, and I've got a little over 0.60" in the stratus in town.  Even the under-reporting MVL is up to 0.73".

Light but moist SE flow in the lower levels might be helping as the precip has been backed up against the east slope of the Mansfield-Bolton stretch.  The west side of Stowe (west of RT 100) has had a lot more rain than the east side.

Still pouring.  MVL ASOS is over 1.0" today which is very impressive for that station, will have to look up the last time the ASOS cleared 1" as they've had precip difficulties for the past several years.  Consistent 0.2-0.33"/hr rates in town and the mountain is showing 0.25-0.50"/hr.

Very cool blocked SE flow on-going.  Torrential rainfall at the ski resort as the echoes just get "stuck" on the SE side of the crest with a very sharp decrease on the west side.  Can easily be seen in the precipitation amounts as we are now at 1.50" in the past like 4 hours or so at the resort.  Look at that couplet though of heavy rain on the SE flow into the pocket of terrain with light rain west of the crest.

Difference between 1-1.5" so far on the east side and 0.25-0.5" on the west side.

The base area village green is going underwater slowly.  Wonder if we can make a run at 2" today.  River out back is rising rapidly.  Should be chugging along later this afternoon as this drains the east slope and runs through town.

This post is NOT in reply to one made last Tuesday, but every time I try to post on the NNE thread, whether or not I'm quoting somebody, the above shows up.  It was doing so last Friday and continues today - weird.

 

Numbers for July, 2016, which point to one of the most boring of possible periods - temps given to the hundredth just to show the boringness.

Average max:  76.42   +0.07

Average min:  54.16    -0.13

Average temp:  65.29   -0.03

High:  86 on 7/28;  high minimum:  63 on 7/17;  high mean:  73.0 on 7/28

Low:  43 on 7/3;  low max:  59 on 7/9&10;  Low mean:  55 on 7/10

My 19-year medians for July's warmest/coolest are 87 and 42; this year didn't quite nail them.

 

Rainfall:  2.15",  -1.80"     APR-JUL has been -6.83" for rain, 61% of average.

Greatest one day:  0.56" on 7/14.

Of the 4 days with thunder, only 7/18 brought more than relatively distant rumbles.  The 18th, which had my only 70+ TD for July, featured 8-10 fairly-to-very close CG strikes (closest was 2 seconds away), all prior to seeing a drop of rain.

Wasn't expecting this all day rain... it pretty much hasn't stopped since around 6-7am.  We did need a nice day-long soaking rain though.  Most of our rain in the past couple weeks has been from short burst heavy convective stuff. 

Stratus is now over-flowing, so 1.0"+ now at home.  Ski Resort probably near 1.75" now.

Been lucking out today with the rain.   .50"  as of 8pm.    got  .28"  yesterday.    3/4" of an inch really will help lawn and garden.  

Lucky duck. Nothing yesterday and 0.02" today. Pending any Tstorms, looks dry next 7 days. When does this end? i read maybe end of Oct. We're going on a year now. Seems crazy for NNE.

Was surprised by 0.07", biggest rain in 2 weeks, bringing that 2-week total to 0.15".  Will probably be all there is for here until late week.

Decent soaker yesterday from the mid-level low over northern Vermont... ended up with 1.07".  I forget this map is 7a-7a and some of the rain yesterday started in the 5-7am time frame, so it has like MVL at 0.94" but they ended with 1.10" as some of that rain fell before 7am and was in the previous day's total.

Getting a light shower right now, about the only one in all of New England.  Not amounting to anything but with it and really cooled off the air.  Down to 67.3F which is also about the coolest in New England except for higher elevations.

Edit.  Cooled down to 66.6F.  Fun fact I just looked at 5pm obs and my obs is the coolest temperature in the Continental US and Southern Canada that I could find.  A couple of stations in Nova Scotia are cooler and a couple on the NW Pacific coast.  Kind of interesting I bet that has almost never happened.

It’s August now, so I’ve got the July precipitation numbers for my site.

 

Rainfall was 4.83”, which comes in at 96.0% of average, so certainly nothing notable in this area in terms of dryness. 

 

It was definitely a nice month in this area - apparently humidity was a bit below normal as I’ve heard PF mention.  It’s been great for all the usual outdoor stuff we do around here, although I’d say on the cool side for water activities.

 

For the calendar year to this point, precipitation is at 26.63”.  That’s 86.7% of average, so 2016 has been just a bit on the dry side.
