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.
Temperature graph over the past 7 days
Looks like the storm lived up to the hype throughout the NEK. Storm totals from around the region ranged from 9 -16 inches of snow. It was hard to get an accurate mesurment here at the weather station due to the heavy drifting. My best guess is around a foot here in Island Pond. Today was very cold for Mid March with temps hovering in the single digits.
For the first time this year the 24″ mark is buried on the snow stake.

It was another cold start to the day in Vermont, especially in the NEK. Temperatures were well below zero at every weather station I checked this morning. We bottomed out at -23.6° here in Island Pond. We even made the news this morning as one of the coldest spots in VT on ABC 22.

After a sunny start to the day we are expecting clouds to increase throughout the day with flurries and snow squalls overnight as another front moves through with a dusting to a couple of inches expected. I will leave you with this image of a sumny morning from our webcam.
