Warm air returns to the NEK

What a beautiful day today was in the North East Kingdom of Vermont! Today’s high temperature in Island Pond was a rather warm 73°. That would not be considered all that warm if it was August,  or even early September.  But, for mid October it was warm. The next few days are forecast to be warm, too with highs in the low 70’s. However,  tomorrow the weather forecast is for mostly cloudy skies, and some rain is forecast for Thursday.

As for the ffoliage,  we are well past peak here with most of the colorful leaves now on the ground. The remaining leaves still on the trees are mostly the yellows and rust. It won’t be long before we see the first snow of the season.  That reminds me,  I need to dig out the snow stake that goes out in front of the webcam.

Frost Advisory for NEK of VT September 14, 2014

The NWS in Burlington has issued a frost advisory for the NEK. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some of the colder mountain valleys see a hard freeze if we see enough cloud free hours overnight. The NWS is calling for a low of 31° here in Island Pond. I have a feeling that we will be a little colder than that. My guess for tomorrow mornings low in IP to be 29°.

Don’t forget to bring in, or cover all of your tender plants that you don’t want to take the chance of loosing to potential frost. I know that I plan on covering my tomatoes 😉

Below is the warning released by the NWS.
