wxeyeNH Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 After 11" of rain in July it is turning out to be a very dry August. No rain for the first 1/2 of the month and only 1.33" since. About .45" with Henri. Rain bands are trying to get up as far as the Lakes Region but so far have dried up as they get up here. Still the chance this evening that they will.

Still the chance this evening that they will. Same 0.45" here. Two TCs and couldn't reach 0.8". Odd distribution of RA yesterday, with 2-3" in York County and BGR to HUL, with only crumbs in between. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 Its 730pm on the 26th. I have been watching an intense thunderstorm just sit on the Spine in Central VT. It's been there for a couple of hours. Must be some huge rain totals in one small area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That area is right in the heart of the Green Mts. between Sugarbush and Killington. Ironically, it was pretty much ground zero for Irene. There has been a lot of coverage of the 10th anniversary Irene this week too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backedgeapproaching Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Yesterday's 65F high definitely a little shock to the system, also was gusting to 30-35 throughout the day on some strong east flow/downslope winds. Spent 5 days in the ADKs during the peak heating this week and max lake water temp got to 83.7F. Warmest I've ever seen it there. Only thing high dews are good for, so worked out perfect swimming wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#NoPoles Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I really enjoy the changing seasons. I'm glad to be moving away from the heat and humidity. I think I would really love winter if it had the same amount of daylight hrs as summer. The long darkness of winter is the one thing that I struggle with.

eyewall Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Can't wait to get up there for a visit for the first week of October. I know it is always a gamble when the foliage will peak but I also know more often than not the second week can be too late in northern VT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backedgeapproaching Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Best Fall Getaways: Magazine Says Small New England Town Among Nation’s Top Destinations – NECN As if it wasn't already crazy enough in October around here.. A lot of small NE towns and suburbs may be changed forever Post Covid. My older daughter who is 9 has 8 new kids in her grade this year, they had 6 last year too. Pre Covid maybe had 1 or 2 new over a 3 year period. If you extrapolate those numbers to all grades and with 4 local elementary schools, you can see the overall new influx.(Obviously 8 new per grade if probably high, my other daughter has 3-4 I think). The elementary school that serves the Stratton/Bromely area's I know cant handle the new influx this year. I think they had to bring in extra trailers or something, it's crazy. Amazing the difference from just 6-7 years ago when we moved here. You would think this would be huge boom to the local economy here, as most people moving here are white collar workers-upper-middle class and up it seems.

We're looking for our retirement spot and we'd rather move north than south, 90% sure it will be somewhere in Maine but keeping an open mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Decent TS 3:45-4:30 this afternoon, 0.67" (about 0.6" 4:05-20) and gusts 30+. Thunder was modest, as usual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of those SVT towns-Peru/Winhall feed into that school I was talking about needing the extra trailer space. There certainly has been an large uptick in Manchester as well, but I think maybe more of just turnover of older folks selling and younger people coming in with families, as Manchester is already an established town with decent year round population compared to the ski towns with so many empty second ski homes now being occupied full time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#NoPoles Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 The foliage is 100% primed and ready to go. The minute we get the first frost, it's off to the races. I'm guessing chlorophyll lifespan has a lot to do with sun angle. It has been wet and warm, but the chlorophyll has been steadily fading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
