#PurePowder in central #VTwx. #Snow still coming down after about 10 inches overnight. Temp up to 5F! #Vermont

Best #solar power day in central #VTwx today since Oct. 29, 2025! Made 2x more electricity than I used. In January! In #Vermont!

Successful at a deck #de-ICE this afternoon. Also, protested in Woodstock. This is such a bullshit excuse for an “Executive 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

Stunning lenticular #cloud over Mt. Washington #NHwx today!

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!

Here's my autumn photo for today. #Autumn #Photography #Michigan I captured this image in Wexford County Michigan with my Nikon D700.

Today's Washington, DC #sunrise time-lapse with Clear conditions and 53.6°F (12°C) #dcwx

A chilly October 12 #sunrise hits the Delectable Mountains of central #Vermont with a dry hay field and layers of altocumulus #clouds. #VTwx

Identified Flying Lenticular #cloud saucers earlier today followed by unusual wet hydrometeors. #VTwx

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.

Great hike to the top of Camel’s Hump #Vermont today! #VTwx was perfect!

It’s been awhile since my last #Vermont Moment of Zen. #VTw

Well that escalated quickly #Aurora watch #aotearoa #newzealand

Captured a Great Spangled Fritillary in the garden. #Vermont #VTwx

Bluesky and a butterfly! From the garden this morning. #Vermont #VTwx

Hot day lazy cat.

I talked with NPR in San Francisco today for 25 minutes on the Texas flooding, and the larger issue of how the basic infrastructure to do science in the US is being destroyed—particularly weather science. www.kalw.org/show/your-ca...

Distant intense thunderstorm over Chelsea #Vermont after midnight lit up by the moon and lightning! #VTwx

Population estimate for exposure to Extreme NWS HeatRisk at some point over the next 7 days. At least 94 million potentially exposed. Impacts likely in most health systems, heat-sensitive industries, and infrastructure. Stay hydrated, avoid direct sun, check on the elderly and pets! #HeatWave2025

Over the past 9 years, only 2021 has exceeded 2025 for running average CONUS temperature for the first 19 days of #meteorological summer. (CONUS area temperature grids from NWS URMA data 2017-2025).

Here's a look at the population in Extreme NWS #Heat Risk over the next week compared to nearly the same time last year. HeatRisk is available here: www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/heatrisk/ #HeatWave2025

On the Day of the Solstice in #Vermont, waves of rain/wind and a 30F temperature drop since yesterday’s #rainbow. #VTwx

Can confirm. My solar panels generated 1 MW of total power in May compared to 1.3 MW in April. Even the March sun produced slightly more power than May. #Vermont #VTwx #Solar

Smokey sunrise over the vineyard this morning. Also, 30 minutes of birds heard by Merlin! Also, driest 3-day stretch in 3 weeks after nearly 10-inches of rain in May. #Vermont #VTwx #Birds

May 2025 is going to be in the top 10 (top 5?) wettest Mays on record for parts of central #Vermont. It appears May 1984 was quite a soaking with local observations in the 10-12 inch range. The weekend system will likely get some spots into the 8-10 inch rainfall for the month. Yikes! #VTwx

Today we filled the pickup with excellent aged manure with many worms, transported it up the hill, and spread it on the raised bed gardens. I then pumped excess water from the crawl space (house bilge?) onto the gardens! First warm season thunderstorms mostly missing us this afternoon. #VTwx

#Vermont Moment of Zen. #vtwx

Ottauquechee River at Quechee, #Vermont this morning! Over 5 inches of rain across central #VTwx since May 1st & at least 2 inches past 24 hours. @NERFC

It’s been a damp and drippy week here in Central #Vermont. Vertically stacked low pressure and cold air aloft drifted overhead yesterday afternoon. I snapped this pic of a nice Cu buildup to the northeast about an hour before a soaking downpour. #VTwx

#Vermont #Rainbow moments are the best! Good luck for my future garden beds? #VTwx

April closed out with a new record high #solar power day on Mt. Hunger #Vermont! I produced nearly 5 times more electricity than my home uses on a normal day. That excess gets put onto the grid as clean energy!

#Vermont is a special place. I’m grateful to be outside pulling taps as spring starts to come alive in the northern woods! Check out www.bourdonmaple.com to add some sweetness in these sour times. 🍁 #Maple

We crossed paths with a #Vermont Easter #Moose yesterday afternoon.

It’s time to take in the bird feeders. Uh oh, too late!

April Fooling with #VTwx.

A 3-day loop of estimated precipitation (10-inch isohyet highlighted). The 10+ inch rainfall forecasts issued Thursday appear to be verifying. Ten inches of rainfall in 3-days across the #Midsouth has ~1% chance of happening in any year (1-in-100). #ARwx #MOwx #TNwx #KYwx #Flood #Flooding #Flooded

The asinine “Liberation Day” gimmick is going to take us over an economic cliff. My Republican colleagues know Trump has no damn idea what he’s doing. Enough! Band together and speak the hell up.

Day 3 high risk (rare!) and moderate risk on days 2, 4, and 5 all in approximately the same area. Major flood threat this week.
