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.
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.
Trees in Island Pond are mostly bare as we move toward winter in the NEK
After our nice spring weather a few days ago we woke up today to a few inches of snow with temperatures in the teens. Hopefully the snow is short lived and we return to seasonable weather soon. Until then be sure to check out the Island Pond Webcam for what is hopefully one last look at Winter.
