We had our first accumulating snow of the season here in Island Pond over the weekend.
Snow starting to accumulate on Saturday 11/14/15
I decided to head up to Jobs Pond in Westmore on Saturday to see if there was more snow in the higher elevations. There was a little more at the pond, but not as much as I had hoped.

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.
Still lots of green on Darling Hill Road in East Burke.
Other areas are coming along nicely with some vibrant colors to be seen.

Jobs Pond in Westmore, VT is also coming along nice.
This past weekend was absolutely perfect for leaf peeping. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday were sunny and mild throughout the North East Kingdom of Vermont. However, there was a lot of fog first thing in the morning that made it difficult for landscape shots. Today, Monday, was mostly cloudy, but with no wind. So I headed over to Job’s Pond for a reflection photo that I was hoping to get all weekend, but it was just to windy. Here’s a few photographs from the past few days. As you can see, it’s at or near peek color.
