Cold air on the way to the NEK

Take advantage of this little warm spell that the Northeast Kingdom is currently having because it won’t last long.  Today,  November 11th, is one of the nicest days that we have had in Island Pond in quite some time.  He sun is out, and the temperature at 1PM is 58°. You can see in the webcam image below that the snow that fell a few days ago is long gone.

Beautiful late fall day in Island Pond, Vermont

Now for the bad news. Artic air that is currently in the midwest is going to be heading toward the NEK of Vermont over the next few days. By Thursday it will be noticeably colder. The high temperatures forecast for the end of the week are upper 20’s to low30’s throughout the region. It looks like it is going to stick around once it gets here

I’ll end this post by wishing all active and forms service members a happy Veterans Day. Thank you for your service.

Ground covered by snow in Island Pond this morning

Last night the snow started to stick when the temperature dropping below freezing.  It was just a light snow,  but enough to cover the ground in snow by this morning.  Most of it is gone now except for a little bit left in the shady spots.  The current temperature at 2PM is 33°.

Here’s a saved photo from the Island Pond webcam from just before 7AM today.

November snow in the NEK

It has been snowing in Island Pond most of the day., but with the temperature just above freezing it melted as soon as it hit the ground.  Around 4PM the temperature dropped below 32° and it started to stick to the car and grassy surfaces here in IP.  In the higher elevations of the Northeast Kingdom it remained below freezing all day. In those places a few inches of snow did accumulate.

I did setup the snow stake in front of the webcam this afternoon just in case we get more than expected overnight.

Snow did accumulate in some of the higer elevations of the NEK today. One such place was at a friends house in Walden, VT. Here’s an image from his webcam from this afternoon.
