We are getting more daylight now that we are closing in on mid February. The sun is also getting a lot stronger. The stronger sun is really noticeable when getting in to a car that has been sitting in the sun on a cold day like today. It’s not as frigid in the car as it was during the same type of day in the beginning of January.
Here’s an image from our webcam at around 5:30pm yesterday. A month ago it would have been dark at that time.
Longer days are starting to be more noticeable
Snow has been falling here all day. With the exception of a few bursts, it has been fairly light. We currently have around 6″ as snow continues to fall. Here’s a recent image from our webcam. I think that is the most snow that we have seen on the snow stake all season.
Snow continues to fall in Island Pond, VT
Sorry for the lack of updates, I’ve been fighting the flu for the past few days.
Anyway, not much in the way of precipitation has fallen recently. But, on a good note it has been on the mild side for the past few days with highs in the upper 20’s! After all of this cold weather, it felt almost spring like. As for snow prospects, there is a small storm headed in our direction later tomorrow in to Sunday. We may see 3 or 4 inches out of it. The National Weather Service has just issued a winter weather advisory for most of the NEK from 11am on Saturday through 11pm on Sunday.
The next potential big storm is Tuesday / Wednesday. Keep your fingers crossed. For real time conditions of what’s going on in Island Pond, just check out our live webcam.
