Cool Mornings

The past several mornings have been on the chilly side throughout the NEK of VT. This mornings low of 40.5 F was the coldest we’ve had here in Island Pond since June 22 when the temperature dropped to 38 degrees. On the the plus side the last few days have been beautiful with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s. The NWS forecast is calling for increasing clouds tonight with showers tomorrow. After the showers move through more cool air is on the way. Highs on Friday will only be in the low 60s throughout the Northeast Kingdom. We may even see a few 50s for highs in the cooler places like Coles Pond and other locations at elevation. Saturday morning will probably have most locations in the 30s. I wouldn’t be surprised to see scattered frost in some of the sheltered valleys.

I’ll end this post with a photo of the Mt Washington Hotel that I took yesterday while in NH.

Summer almost here

Tomorrow,  June 21st, is the first day of summer.  You would think it is more like the first day of fall with the temps we’ve been having over the past few days here in the Northeast Kingdom of VT. On Wednesday the high at least broke 70 degrees with a high of 71°. Yesterday it only got up to 67°. The gusty NW winds made it feel colder than that. Today is another cool day with the same NW winds blowing.  It’s almost noon and the temps are still in the 50’s throughout most of the area. The forecast is calling for a warming trend with sunny skies right through the beginning of next week.  Get out there and enjoy it because after tomorrow the daylight hours start their downward trend toward fall.

May 7, 2014 update

There hasn’t been much going on weather wise recently.  We were stuck in a typical spring pattern for the past week or more, cool and cloudy with showers just about every day.  We did see the sun pop out briefly once in a while. We finally broke the pattern today with bright blue skies!

 Spring is slowly moving forward with a few buds on the trees.

I’ll end this post with an image from our webcam from last night.
