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.

August 10th Super Moon

The supermoon occurs when the moon becomes full at the closest point in its orbit to Earth, called a perigee full moon. Although there has already been a supermoon earlier this year on July 12, this one will be particularly striking. It will become full at the same time as its perigee, making it the most super of the supermoons this year. The moon is expected to appear 12% bigger and 30% brighter than it did in January 2014, when the moon was full at the farthest point.
