The days following the TC were awesome... 70s/50s. Need much more of that. I saw some of that in my point forecast, so I took a quick look at the BTV NWS forecast discussion and their thoughts are the same. I could swear I’ve heard in the subforum that HHH is what everyone wants in the summer, but maybe we’ll just have to make due with “comfortable” for now. Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Burlington VT 304 PM EDT Tue Aug 11 2020 .SHORT TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... As of 304 PM EDT Tuesday...By and large though, the majority of the time period should be dry with partly sunny days and mostly clear nights. Temps turn back towards seasonal norms with highs in the upper 70s to mid-80s and lows mainly in the 50s. Dew points will be comfortably in the 50s as well. .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... As of 304 PM EDT Tuesday...Sunny days and clear nights are expected, with temps very comfortable in the upper 70s to low 80s, and lows in the 50s Saturday, and slightly warmer in the mid 50s to low 60s Sunday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't post that in the main threads, lol. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#NoPoles Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Saw some good meteors tonight, Perseid Meteor Shower never disappoints. Saw a really bright one with a long tail. Super stoked! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhineasC Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 The foliage here is getting that "tired" look. The bright pop is all gone. It's not drought. Plenty of rain here in July. Winter is coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Probably “first shot across the bow” airmass coming next week in at least NNE...SNE remains to be seen. The type of day where it’s like 70F and sunny and then all of the sudden when the sun disappears behind the hills/mountains, you lose like 15F really quickly and after another beer or two on the deck you look down at your hands getting pink from the chill. Next morning is like near 40F in the radiational cooling spots and you question leaving the window fan on all night. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one of the main threads they’re already talking about how it can be hard to get 90s F in SNE at the end of August, so you can imagine how insanely hard it must be to do that up in your area.

This week has felt different. The nights are chilly to the point that my wife wants windows closed at like 3am. I tell her to add a blanket because I want to feel cold while sleeping after the past two months, ha. Just so nice to sleep very comfortable and without fans or A/C running. Quiet.

I was looking at plots of land in a few NNE spots the last couple weeks . Sort of like a 3-5 year plan beginning with the purchase of several acres then development . Really Would enjoy a NNE climate , ideally something Low risk but with nice rental potential. Rangeley Maine (1800’)Jay ,VT 1300’ , and even Colebrook / Dixville 1800’ or so all looked interesting...probably in that Order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya , if I got land it wouldn’t be in some mediocre spot relative to Snowfall . Rangeley seems like it would have the most seasons for rental potential (Busy summer lake ) / Winter (Ski) early / mid fall (foliage ) thou Covid has thrown a large wrench into that market , should be some distressed second home sales this winter in my opinion and likely a lot more if travel /lodging restrictions are re imposed . There are a few plots near Dixville / E Colebrook that would see nice appreciation if that proposed ski resort ever got the funding to get off the ground near the Balsams .

Rangeley might be getting even pricier than it has always been, what with nearly $40 million being pumped into Saddleback, with plans to open for the first time in 5-6 years. Great mountain, and while Maine can't match the northern Greens for upslope, Saddleback's NW exposure probably gives it the best in the state.

Once we hit August 1st, it’s always good to be on the lookout for the breaking point of summer around here, but I wasn’t quite ready to call it back during that first week because that impending mini stretch of heat that we had on the 10th and 11th was still approaching. You definitely started the fall party though. I’m not sure about SNE of course – based on what I’ve seen on here over the years they seem to hold onto the big heat potential much longer. In our area though, it’s hard to imagine top tier heat coming back based on the extended forecast. It looks like temperatures will struggle to even reach 80 F, so 90 F is obviously a long shot.

There is a 7 acre plot for 45k across street from Long pond about 3 miles from Rangeley lake . Elevated up so there could be a fine view . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t make an investment in that area expecting the Balsams planned ski area to go anywhere. That’s been like two decades of talks it seems like. The market just isn’t there for that place IMO.
