Back to a Fall feel

After several warm summer days in the NEK we are back to cooler weather. Today has only warmed up to 63° so far. In Island Pond, and I doubt it will get much higher today. Tonight’s lows are forecast to be in the 40s to low 50s throughout the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.  Tomorrow should rebound to the mid 60s to low 70s The upcoming Labor Day weekend doesn’t look to be a complete washout,  but will be unsettled with a chance of showers.

Hard to believe it’s Labor Day already. In just 4 more weeks the region should be ablaze in near peek foliage. As you can see in our webcam image below, we even have a few birch leaves dropping on the lawn in the foreground.

Tomatoes almost ready!

For whatever reason our tomatoes have been talking their time this year.  I was happy to see them starting to ripen this week.  Even though ours haven’t been ready, we’ve been getting some good tomatoes in Island Pond, VT at both Teds Market and Kingdom Market.  We’ve also gotten some very good sweet corn in town. However,  we can’t wait to pick our own home grown tomatoes.  They will go very well on my favorite sandwich this summer,  a BLT with cheese on toasted wheat bread.

Fall like feel in the NEK

Today sure does feel more like September than it does mid August here in the Northeast Kingdom of VT.  The current temperature at 2PMi in Island Pond is 59° under partly sunny skies. The forecast is calling for mostly cloudy weather with a chance of showers right through the upcoming weekend. Temperatures will also remain be, ow normal with highs in the 60s.
