Successful at a deck #de-ICE this afternoon. Also, protested in Woodstock. This is such a bullshit excuse for an β€œExecutive Branch”. Take back Congress later this year and impeach ASAP, and freaking convict the felon this time for crying out loud!

It doesn't happen often and may not last but we hit the #VTwx CoCoRaHs snowfall jackpot with 4.5 inches of snow overnight. Now a foot on the ground and we can start thinking about getting the snowshoes out. Bummer that weekend warmth and rain will steal some of this away. :-( #Vermont

I first wrote and cron’d the script that makes these @NWSSPC upper air maps in November 1998. It’s been running and making the twice-daily UA maps for the past 27 years at this URL: www.spc.noaa.gov/obswx/maps/. That’s over 138,000 maps online and it’s still going!

The sun is highlighting the leaves of an orange maple tree in autumn. A red barn stands in the background.

Would be neat to see an animation of this across 100 NH summer seasons.

Foliage color is now peaking across parts of drought-ravaged central Vermont. Picture shows a dry meadow with colorful trees and a small raised bed garden in the foreground.

Drought has contributed to a lot of brown and orange leaves. I’m gonna call it peak #foliage color in my backyard in central #Vermont! #VTwx

Beautiful #foliage nearing peak in spots on #VTwx I-91 north, and east along US Route 2 into #NHwx today. Some trees were vibrant red & golden yellow in the bright sunshine. Many areas should have (or develop) fantastic color through the end of the month but some rain would also be welcome.

Drought has really influenced foliage this year. Still some colors popping out but many trees are losing leaves fast.
