Happy New Year to one and all! I do hope that in all ways 2017 is a great year for you and yours.
We have a very active, stormy, and wintry pattern setting up for the next week, including some light upslope snows this (Wednesday) morning, a major snowstorm possible for Thursday and Thursday night, more upslope snows and windy conditions Friday and Friday night, light snow New Year's Eve, and a wintry mix early next week. Now I'm winded!
For Wednesday, a small wave of low pressure with a flow off the eastern Great Lakes will have brought light snow showers and flurries to parts of the region and some coatings or light accumulations should have resulted. Partly sunny skies will develop, and highs will reach to near freezing. Lows could dip down into the teens if enough cloud breaks occur.
For Thursday, low pressure sets up near James Bay, Canada, and in the absence of cold high pressure to our north, this feature, along with a rapidly developing secondary low-pressure system off the mid-Atlantic coastline should be able to pull and generate enough cold air to produce a moderate to major snowstorm for southern Vermont from around noon into the pre-dawn hours of Friday morning.
Whatever and however you celebrate, I'm wishing you and yours a very happy holiday season this year! It looks like the weather will cooperate and foster fairly uneventful driving conditions this upcoming weekend, save for a few showers of rain or snow. As I'm fond of saying from time...
Good morning, afternoon, or evening to you! Winter has most certainly arrived, and we've got more active early winter weather on the way to southern Vermont, including a brutal blast of very cold Arctic air, a couple of periods of accumulating snow, and some ice and rain thrown in...
I'm wishing you well on this day, and thank you as always for reading my (hopefully sensible) ramblings on our weekly weather in southeastern Vermont. One thing is for sure - winter is arriving on schedule with the first real shot of Arctic air on the march, and by Saturday you will feel it in your bones. There's not much in the way of guarantees in the weather business, but the impending cold snap is a sure bet. For Wednesday,
Good day to you, residents of the windy hamlet in southeastern Vermont! I hope we're all enjoying this healthy dose of rain, because we sure need it. Granted, the drought is worse where I reside down in western Massachusetts, but we're all hurting for more rain, so luckily we've got some to put a light dent in the drought. As far as our sensible weather is concerned for Wednesday, another low pressure system will push east-northeast into the Ohio Valley...
Good morning, afternoon or night to you! The most recent upslope snow event which brought several inches of snow to portions of western Windham County illustrates a point I want to raise at the top of this week's column. That point being that beyond 48-72 hours, weather prediction accuracy drops off markedly. In other words, printing a forecast a week out is like starting a painting - you can brush in the broad shapes, but the details and finishing touches...
I do hope you're having a good moment when your eyes meet this column today! We'll be encountering some changeable (and colder) weather as we head toward Thanksgiving. High pressure and a brief warming trend will dominate the Wednesday-through-Saturday period. Thereafter, we will witness a step down in temperatures and an increase in wet (and potentially white) weather Sunday into Monday, at least. With that summary in mind, let's jump into the daily details. For Wednesday, we will be transitioning...
Good morning, afternoon, or evening to you, depending on what time of day you've picked up the paper! After our unseasonable early snowfall last week, we're flipping the cards with some unseasonable warmth that will visit our environs for Wednesday and Thursday. Shortly thereafter, a disturbance and associated cold front will push through southern Vermont by Friday morning, dropping us squarely into Autumn once again. To the details! For Wednesday, high pressure will dominate, and we'll enjoy a partly sunny,
