dryslot Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 29 was the low here, Second time this week we had a hard frost/freeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 27F was the morning min... heavy freezing fog too at 6-7am, even frosted the evergreens a bit. Didn't see any rime ice on the hardwoods though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 It’s that time of year when frost survives all day long in the shadows. 3:30pm and walk to wall frost still on the northeast aspects. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She rolled around in the frost for sure. She seemed to understand it wasn’t snow ha, but was like “I guess this will do.” I almost thought it was snow from a distance because I was like wtf is that trail white for? Like it’s late afternoon, is that still snow from the other day? Never expected frost to be that robust. Like even the evergreens were white , looked like they had snow on them from a distance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhineasC Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 Definitely a change in the air out there, and it happened quickly as many here predicted. Whereas it seemed a couple weeks ago that some early morning cold snow showers would be a tall order, now it seems like it could be any day now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 30/28 and calm at MVL right now… and 46/34 at BTV with 13mph south wind. Quite the difference in the two sites. Both located in a valley but one valley is a lot bigger in size than the other one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 hiked across franconia ridge yesterday. spectacular day with good hiker traffic. was chuckling at myself, just below the ridge on falling waters, running water had turned to ice and I didn't recognize the change and slipped. there was a fairly good frost in the ground at higher elevations too.

backedgeapproaching Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Definitely behind here a bit on leaf drop. Top pic is 2019 and bottom is today on same date. Or maybe 2019 was a bit early, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Cold rainy dark day. So many leaves still on the trees. Oaks are just about to peak but other species still have leaves too. Maybe 15% bare? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, those foliage images almost seem unfathomable for NNE with respect to what we’re experiencing over here – I feel like we’ve been in stick season for two weeks now. You can see PF’s comment, which was about a week ago right there, and it wasn’t as if stick season had just started at that point. There are certainly still some trees here and there in this area with leaves on them, but those images feel like something from a different world.

Our climate here can't be too different from theirs, and while our big oak is only 1/3 shed, the aspens have only have handfulls of leaves remaining and everything else is sticks except a small beech, the other overwinter leaf-clinging species. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Took this yesterday in Burlington. Notice how green some of those trees still are! I was a bit surprised by the difference here, but I guess the lake also creates a significant microclimate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Lake retains heat quite well too, that stuff on the shores will be last to change in the State. Just like in the spring the stuff along the water might be some of the last to leaf out as the cold lake keeps a lid on things. Even the difference from the airport to lakeside is huge.

This was the first time I've spent anything more than a few hours in BTV - really, really liked it. But I think I've already said it lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I happen to live in a random thicket of Oak and Beech, so it's not totally representative of the area in general. I took this shot below about a mile away at like 750'. Hillsides are pretty bare, not full on stick season quite yet, but my woods are probably more anomalous honestly that the bigger picture feel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a freakish Oak that is like 95% green. You can see it in the pic-- weird. It just won't change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backedgeapproaching Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Had a 39MPH gust on my Davis last night-- highest I've had since I got it in Spring. Sighting is ground level about 4-5ft now. Have an antenna pole coming this week to roof mount that anemometer. Curious to see if that will make a difference and how much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those easterly flow wind events should be fun there with that setup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm totally cleared out to the east, so pretty unobstructed wind flow. Wonder how accurate Davis anemometer is say compared to ASOS. @dendrite would probably know. Im sure I've probably been weenieing out and overestimating some wind events since being here, but some are just nuts. We'll see i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 There is a hillside next to 89 just south of the Waterbury exit that looks like it is almost completely oak. I haven’t driven by for a few weeks but those trees seem to keep their leaves for months after everything else drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've got no idea on those PWS vs. ASOS, that is firmly in Dendy's wheelhouse. I don't even know to be honest if they are the exact same measurement... is is 1-sec wind speed? 5-sec average? Instantaneous? 30 or 60 second averages for sustained? I'm definitely lacking in wind measurement criteria knowledge. I do think the western slope communities see the highest synoptic wind in the state of VT though, as you know. From up north in eastern Chittenden/Franklin counties, down through Addison/Rutland and into Bennington counties... the narrow strip of west slope spots do see those legit 50+ gusts from time to time. DDH/RUT/6B0 up to east of BTV. I know they've recorded even 70+mph in low elevation lee-side locations during the rouge extreme events… when you have those real strong 90+kt H85 low level jets rolling in from the SE and the summits flirt with 100mph.
