Light snow followed by warm up and rain

Light snow has been falling throughout the region all afternoon.  The forecast is only calling for a few inches to fall. Later in the week the NWS is calling for a brief warm up with a little rain on Friday.  Saturday is also forecast to be in the upper 30’s before returning to colder temps on Sunday.

Valentines Storm update 2/14/14

Last night when I turned in I thought the storm was a bust. However, when I got up this morning we had indeed gotten some snow. At 2pm light snow continues to fall on the NEK. Snow totals from around the region are between 6-14 inches with some other parts of the state recording up to 2 feet of snow! The highest total from around the NEK that I could find was 14 inches in Averill. Here in Island Pond we’ve received 8.5″ so far. The wind is really blowing it around creating white out conditions during some of the heavier gusts.

I was hoping to see the 24″ mark covered on thewebcam snow stake, but we didn’t manage to get enough for that. Oh well, there’s always tomorrow….

Snow totals around the NEK

Well, we finally got a snow storm that matched,  or exceeded the predicted amounts. Snow totals from around the Northeast Kingdom ranged from 6 to 10 inches of light fluffy snow. The highest total I found was 10.1 inches in Sutton.  Here in Island Pond we received 8.5 inches.  This should really help bring the snowmobile riders out, and give a much needed boost to the local businesses.  It also makes  for a beautiful winters day with all the white snow on the trees.
