Back to a Fall feel

After several warm summer days in the NEK we are back to cooler weather. Today has only warmed up to 63° so far. In Island Pond, and I doubt it will get much higher today. Tonight’s lows are forecast to be in the 40s to low 50s throughout the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.  Tomorrow should rebound to the mid 60s to low 70s The upcoming Labor Day weekend doesn’t look to be a complete washout,  but will be unsettled with a chance of showers.

Hard to believe it’s Labor Day already. In just 4 more weeks the region should be ablaze in near peek foliage. As you can see in our webcam image below, we even have a few birch leaves dropping on the lawn in the foreground.

Summer returns to the NEK

After a long stretch of fall like weather,  summer has returned to the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.  The high temperature so far today,  Sunday, is 78° in Island Pond, VT.  Coupled with a nice breeze, it’s a beautiful day to be outside and enjoy all that the region has to offer.

Fair weather clouds over the NEK

This week’s forecast is calling for more summer weather with highs in the 70s and maybe even a few lower 80s in some spots in the NEK. Get out there and enjoy it as fall is fast approaching. There was even snow falling in the mountains of Montana this weekend.  As you can see in the following photo taken this afternoon in our yard in Island Pond,  fall will be here before long.

Tomatoes almost ready!

For whatever reason our tomatoes have been talking their time this year.  I was happy to see them starting to ripen this week.  Even though ours haven’t been ready, we’ve been getting some good tomatoes in Island Pond, VT at both Teds Market and Kingdom Market.  We’ve also gotten some very good sweet corn in town. However,  we can’t wait to pick our own home grown tomatoes.  They will go very well on my favorite sandwich this summer,  a BLT with cheese on toasted wheat bread.
