Hello,
As you will be able to see, this blog in rarely updated. That's because I have found tweeting more versatile and easier. If your interested in more than the everyday details of our Vermont weather, check out bobindatower at twitter. Hope to see you there.

half a dry weekend is better than none

High pressure will slide east and offshore today, allowing complex low pressure to push toward the state through the day. As this low pressure deepens and slows across the northeast later tonight into Sunday widespread rainfall, occasionally heavy at times will spread across the state. By Monday the low should weaken and slide slowly south, allowing rainfall to slowly taper off by later in the day.

cool then warm

High pressure will move across Vermont today and tonight. This will bring dry weather and plenty of sunshine to the area. The dry weather will be short lived though, as an upper level trough of low pressure moves into the state tomorrow. This low will bring clouds, rain, and cool temperatures. However, high pressure is expected to return on Thursday with sunshine and warmer temperatures.

warm start to May

Sunday was the warmest day of the year so far, but no record highs. It was close though. Both Burlington’s 85 and Montpelier’s 84 were just one degree shy of their records set in 2001.

way warmer

Burlington’s 79, Montpelier’s 78 and St J’s 77 Friday smashed old record highs. Burlington 79 was 14 degrees higher than the old record of 65; that’s smashed.

Looks like we do it again today.

in his words

"The sun was warm but the wind was chill.
You know how it is with an April day.
When the sun is out and the wind is still,
You're one month on in the middle of May.
But if you so much as dare to speak,
a cloud come over the sunlit arch,
And wind comes off a frozen peak,
And you're two months back in the middle of March."

Robert Frost, Two Tramps in Mud Time, 1926

one unusual March

This was one of the least snowiest March’s in generations; less than an inch in many locations.

At the Burlington NWS office it was the sixth least snowiest on record (their records go back well over a hundred years). You have to go back to 1953 to find a March with less snow than this year’s.
