I hope you're having a good moment when your eyes scan this column. I also hope that you like late winter conditions, because we've got more on the way after a one-day warm-up for Wednesday.
Thereafter, a series of cold fronts will drop us into the freezer by the weekend with some light snow chances Friday, a very, VERY low chance on Sunday, and an interesting setup for Monday night into Tuesday.
For Wednesday, behind a frontal passage we'll enjoy an unseasonably warm day - for one day. After some early morning showers of rain and/or snow, breaks of sun should emerge and temperatures should reach into the low to mid 50s with increasing sunshine during the day.
A light southwest wind should develop ahead of yet another cold front that will pass through late Wednesday night or early on Thursday morning. Scattered showers with some graupel (an ice-rimed and compressed snowflake) are possible late, with warm air at the surface and cooling aloft. Lows Wednesday night will dip to near freezing.
Good day to you, I hope you can find one nice thing to smile about today. Sometimes it's that one thing that can turn the tide on a day. I wish that for you in this moment, but I digress! To the weather! We are on the meteorological seesaw...
Hopefully you're having a nice, relaxing moment as you sit down to read this column today. In fact, chances are it will be quite mild when you do, which for most is a spirit lifter, indeed. Winter has faded into the background for now, as Arctic air is locked...
Good day to you. I hope that some of you were able to access my updates on The Commons' Facebook page during the past wintry week we just slogged through. Nice to get some real snow on the ground, finally! But what goes up must come down. And in this case, it's the opposite. What has gone down (temperatures) must come up, and up they will climb, starting this weekend. However, we've got couple of days of generally light accumulating...
Good day to you! After an above-average January in terms of temperatures we have flipped the pattern, at least temporarily. For January, we had a trough of lower pressures in the western U.S. and a ridge of higher pressures in the east. This allowed for milder air to flow in off of the Pacific and glide right into New England. These large-scale weather features have reversed for the time being, and is the reason we're seeing snow and cold in...
After several inches of snow and sleet earlier this week, we will see another descent into more seasonable winter temperatures which opens up the potential for more snow and ice in southeastern Vermont. I have been intimating that cold will be returning by the end of January or beginning of February, and its arrival has manifested. Having said that, it probably lasts for a couple weeks. Beyond that, there are mixed signals as to whether it continues into March, or...
Good morning, afternoon, or night to you as you read this column. Our winter storm that brought some accumulating snow Tuesday night into Wednesday morning has departed to the east. It just goes to show you that even though we can be in an above-average temperature regime and pattern, we're still in the middle of winter and winter storms are still possible. In general, though, we will be milder than average in the coming days. For Wednesday, we will still...
Happy New Year to everybody who reads these words, and to all of those who don't, because I'm an equal opportunity Happy New Year wisher! The next two to three weeks especially will feature an atmospheric see-saw of weather conditions and hazards, so expect cool-downs and what I like to call mild-ups, since temperatures in the 40s can't really be classified as “warm.” Let's jump into the details, shall we? * * * For Wednesday, a cold front will be...
