Some areas of Vermont as well as the rest of the northeast have been very warm this summer. We have had some warm spells here in the Northeast Kingdom, too. Here in Island Pond my weather station has recorded a high temperature of 86.5°F back on July 13th.
The high in Island Pond over the past 7 days was 84.4°F on August 12, 2016
With the days getting shorter, we should start to see much cooler mornings. That will soon transition in to my favorite time of year, FALL.
Snow fell from the sky for most of the day here in Island Pond. By early afternoon about 2 inches had accumulated in shady areas and grassy surfaces. Around 5PM we stated to see a sharp clearing line move overhead. With full sun and the temperature up to 38° most of the snow has melted 🙂

By late afternoon the sun came out and the temperature rose above freezing.
Temperatures in the NEK have warmed up over the past week. As you can see on the graph our weather station recorded a high of 68.3°F on Sunday.
With the warmer weather I’m happy to report that the ice is out on Island Pond, as well as Spectacle Pond.
