First frost of the season

It’s been chilly here in  northern VT the past couple of mornings. Yesterday, September 15, 2016, my weather station recorded a low temperature of 40°F. This morning was even cooler and produced the first frost of the season in many locations in the Northeast Kingdom of VT and Northern NH. The low temperature here in Island Pond was a chilly 33.8°F.

Fall Foliage Update 9/13/16

With peak foliage here in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont just around the corner I thought I would do a quick update on how things are going. The last two mornings my weather station has recorded low temps of around 40°F. A friend of mine in Walden, VT recorded a low of 37°F yesterday morning.

The forecast is calling for the coldest air of the season later in the week. There was even some talk of a chance of frost in the cooler mountain valleys Thursday morning.  Here’s the NWS five day forecast for Island Pond, VT

I’ll end this post with a drone video taken earlier today. As you will see there is a little color starting to develop here in the NEK.

NEK of VT Fall Foliage Update 10/1/15

The foliage season here in the Northeast Kingdom has been slow to progress this year. I’m sure the warm fall weather has had something to do with it. Last year at this time the foliage was at or very near peak here in the NEK. The 2.5″ of rain over the past few days had kept me from going out to see how the leaves were coming along. So, when the sun came out today I jumped in the car to do a little leaf peeping.

The colors are still very green in some areas.
