Late April Update

It’s been way to long since my last blog post here on nekwx.com. I’ll try to do a better job updating this page going forward.

Over the past month we have gone from having 24″ of snow on the snow stake to zero snow with the exception of a little snow on the north side of the buildings from where the roofs slid off. There were times over the past several weeks I wondered if spring was ever going to arrive in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. I guess the good thing about it was the cooler weather helped keep the rivers and streams from overflowing like often happens when we have a rapid warm up.

Over the past week it has been mostly cloudy and cool with both rain and snow showers falling here in Island Pond. Here are a couple of graphs showing the weather data over the past 7 days.

I’ll end this post with a recent image from the Island Pond Webcam

It's nice to see the sun shinning today on the Island Pond webcam!

Beautiful weekend in the NEK

It’s hard to get much better weather than we had over the past weekend in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.  On Saturday we had mostly sunny skies with temperatures in the mid 70’s with just enough of a breeze to keep the black flies and mosquitos at bay. Temps quickly fell back through the 60’s – 50’s soon after the sun went down. Sunday was a little warmer with temperatures reaching the upper 70’s to low to mid 80’s throughout the region. We really couldn’t have asked for a better weekend to enjoy the outdoors in Island Pond, VT!

On aanother note,  I’m going to try to adjust the webcam today to show a little more of the sky. Now that the leaves are on the trees it’s hard to see on the camera if the skies are blue, or if it’s cloudy.

Decent day in NEK

Today turned out to be nicer than I had expected in Island Pond, and the rest of the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.  Clouds did win out late in the day, but the sun was out most of the day, with temps in the low to mid 70’s. As this map shows, the same can not be said to our east in NH and western ME where it was 10°-15° cooler at 6pm.
