Chances are you've seen some of the footage of the remarkable flooding in the northeast the past couple of days.
We will focus here on the Adirondack Mountains of New York and the Green Mountains of Vermont. The National Weather Service Burlington Forecast Office produced a map earlier today of the storm total precipitation for their forecast area, which extends across northern New York. The event featured impressive enhancement over the Green Mountains and portions of the Adirondacks. In the case of the Greens, a broad area of more than 5" fell including more than 9" in Plymouth just to the south of Killington along Route 100. In the Adirondacks, more than 5" fell in Newcomb.
Flooding, mudslides, and washed out roads have occurred in many areas. Below is drone footage from yesterday in Montpelier, which was posted by The Weather Channel.

Extensive damage is also being reported in the Long Lake, Blue Mountain Lake, and Newcomb area of the Adirondacks. I've traveled through this area hundreds of times (that's not an exaggeration). So hard to see.
Downtown Long Lake got hit hard, with major washouts. Here's a picture from the Town of Long Lake Facebook page of reconstruction. Right now, there's no travel north, east or west. pic.twitter.com/tpjCTFczQO
