It’s been chilly here in  northern VT the past couple of mornings. Yesterday, September 15, 2016, my weather station recorded a low temperature of 40°F. This morning was even cooler and produced the first frost of the season in many locations in the Northeast Kingdom of VT and Northern NH. The low temperature here in Island Pond was a chilly 33.8°F.
