NEK Nor’easter wrap up

The Nor’easter that impacted much of New England over the past several days didn’t have much of an impact on the North East Kingdom of Vermont.  Several areas closer to the Atlantic saw 5 to 6 inches of rain, and wind gusts in excess of 50mph. Here in Island Pond we saw very little wind. Rain wasn’t much of a factor either with just .88 inches over the past 4 days.  The heaviest rain fell yesterday,  October 23, with .43 inches.

The forecast for the upcoming weekend doesn’t look all that great.  We should see a little sun tomorrow,  Saturday,  before a front gets closer in the afternoon with showers likely.  Sunday is supposed to be cloudy with shoers likely.  Hopefully we will see some sun early next week.

A few flakes yesterday, more rain ahead

We did have our first snow flakes of the season yesterday here in Island Pond.  Not nearly enough to coat the ground,  but I did see a few photos posted on twitter of snow on Mt Mansfield.

It llooks like October is going to continue to be on the wet side as a Nor’easter is expected to form of the east coast and bring rain to New England for the next several days. The heavist rain is expected on Wednesday and Thursday.

Rainy October so far, maybe some snow?

We seem to be getting lots of rain here in the North East Kingdom of Vermont lately. The weather station here in Island Pond recorded 1.1″ of rain yesterday, and .27″ of rain so far today. The entire month of October has been on the wet side with 3.73″ of rain so far. Showers are in the forecast right through the upcoming weekend. We may even see a few flurries and snow showers by Sunday as cooler air works it’s way in to the NEK. Check our webcam later in the weekend to see if any snow does fall in Island Pond.

I’ll end this post with a current image from our webcam. As you can see, most of the leaves have fallen off the trees.
