As a result of the warm muggy air over us, we are expecting showers and thunder storms this afternoon. Tomorrow a cold front is expected to move through returning us to much dries air.

Now that Memorial Day has past, it’s time to start getting the rest of the garden planted. I hope to get to a garden center over the next couple of days and picking up a few tomatoes and maybe even a few other vegetable sets to help get a few earlier harvests then I’ll get by just planting seeds. I’ll post some photos of my progress as I go.

The heat is on in the NEK!

Yesterday, May 8th, was warmer that we got all of last summer here in Island Pond, VT. The high was 87°, and last summers high was 85° on both July 1st and 2nd. The only nice part was very low dew points yesterday keeping the humidity levels down compared to last July. Fortunately for those of us that don’t like it quite that hot, temperatures dropped off fairly quick as soon as the sun started to set on the Northeast Kingdom. The low today was 46°. The current temperature at 12:45PM is 77°.

The forecast for the next several days looks to be wet with rain showers just about everyday. But, we do need the rain to help green things up, and help keep the fire danger down. Here’s a look at the upcoming weather for Island Pond as forecast by the NWS in Burlington. Don’t forget you can get the local forecast here on our website by clicking here.

In addition to the warmer temperatures, we’ve also started to hear and see some birds that we haven’t seen since last summer. Today I saw my first Rose-breasted Grosbeak of the season. I was also able to snap a quick photo of him to share with you.

I also want to mention that I added a new page to the website that shows the last ten images from the Island Pond Webcam. The link is at the top of the page. You can also find it by clicking here.
