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.
Snow on the Webcam on April 16, 2014
The strong April sun has been working on the remaining snow over the past few days here in the NEK. Last night’s above freezing temperatures didn’t hurt either. The forecast is calling for temps to be in the mid to upper 50’s on Saturday and Sunday. We may see our first 70° day on Monday. With these warm temps most of the snow should melt before long.
As you can see from today’s web camera image from Island Pond, VT, we’ve got a lot more bare ground showing than the image from my last post two days ago.

Not much melting today with temperatures in the upper 20’s to low 30’s in the Northeast Kingdom. However, the past few days have seen high temperatures in the upper 40’s to mid 50’s throughout the region. On Monday we reached 57° here in Island Pond! That was the warmest temperature we have seen since a warm day back in December. Unfortunately there is a price to be paid for the warm weather, and that comes in the form of mud. Some of the back roads are in rough shape and may not be passable without 4 wheel drive.
