Spring has arrived in the NEK!

We’ve finally had some spring like weather here in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. On Tuesday the high temperature got up to 45°. Wednesday was even warmer reaching 51° here in Island pond. Yesterday was a lot cooler with temps only getting up in to the mid 30’s. We also haven’t been below zero at night for over a week!

Milder days ahead?

After two cold mornings, -15° Monday and -18° this morning, milder temperatures are ahead. Highs are expected to be in the upper 20’s over the next few days as a coastal low moves up the coast of New England. The storm is far enough off the coast that it shouldn’t effect us other than a few flurries and some wind. By Friday we should see temperatures rise in to the low 40’s. Highs should remain in the 40’s throughout the upcoming weekend.

Spring, just around the corner?

Even though spring officially begins in just three days, it sure doesnt feel like it. Yes, we had a fairly warm Saturday with a high around 40°F. But the temps quickly dropped off, and we only warmed up to around 11°F on Sunday. This morning was another cold start at -22.3°F. That’s certainly cold for this time of year! However, spring will come to the NEK of Vermont at some point, it has to.
