40° Plus Past 2 Days in Island Pond, VT!!!

It has really felt good to see temperatures warm in to the 40’s for both Tuesday and Wednesday! Tuesday was the warmest with a high of 48° here in Island Pond, VT. Today was a little windier and cooler with the high reaching 42°.  Even the overnight low didn’t go below freezing on Wednesday morning,  36° was the morning low.

Unfortunately cooler weather will return as a cold front moves through the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont this evening. The front will bring with it a chance of flurries or light snow. Not much accumulation is expected with the front but some areas of the NEK could see 1-2 inches of new snow. The next storm should arrive over the weekend and as of right now it looks like a mix of snow and rain.

Here is a photo from the Island Pond Webcam on Tuesday followed by an image from the cam on Wednesday. As you can see, we’ve lost quite a bit of snow during the warmup.

Warm air returns to the NEK

What a beautiful day today was in the North East Kingdom of Vermont! Today’s high temperature in Island Pond was a rather warm 73°. That would not be considered all that warm if it was August,  or even early September.  But, for mid October it was warm. The next few days are forecast to be warm, too with highs in the low 70’s. However,  tomorrow the weather forecast is for mostly cloudy skies, and some rain is forecast for Thursday.

As for the ffoliage,  we are well past peak here with most of the colorful leaves now on the ground. The remaining leaves still on the trees are mostly the yellows and rust. It won’t be long before we see the first snow of the season.  That reminds me,  I need to dig out the snow stake that goes out in front of the webcam.

Cold front ushers in drier air

The past several days haven’t been exceptionally hot, but dew points in the low to mid 60s have made it kind of muggy in the NEK. We’ve also seen some spotty heavy rain and thunderstorms in some areas. On Monday morning I was woken by a passing thunderstorm at 5:30 AM. The storm dropped .79 inches of rain here in Island Pond. I spoke to a friend that lives near Coles Pond in Walden and he said that they only had a few sprinkles. So, the storms are certainly hit or miss. I was expecting to see more rain last night as the cold front passed, but things were faily calm with a few spotty showers in the region.  Here in Island Pond we only got .01″ of precipitation. Today has been partly sunny with temps in the upper 60s. The dew points have also been falling since the cold front passed through.

The uupcoming forcast is calling for unsettled weather through tomorrow with a chance of showers. The weekend I

is looking fantastic with sunny skies and temps in the mid to upper 70s throughout the Northeast Kingdom.

Here’s a recent image from our webcam. If you look at the grass in the foreground you will notice several yellow leaves. I’m not sure what is going on,  but several of our birch trees have been dropping leaves over the past several days.
