Light snow on Tuesday leads to Arctic blast for Thanksgiving Day

Good day to you, hearty southern Vermonters! This week you are going to need to dig deep for that inherent brand of Vermont heartiness as we will all have to stand up to a legitimately major Arctic outbreak on Thanksgiving Day.

Having said that, allow me to put this report into reverse and cover the days leading up to (and after) this week's major holiday.

For Tuesday, low pressure tracking south of Long Island will bring a period of light accumulating snow that will end by the afternoon. A cold front moves through to produce a cold but fair Tuesday night and Wednesday.

Then we'll see a strong front will bring the chance for heavy snow squalls Wednesday night which will usher in a brutally cold 36-hour period, including Thanksgiving Day, when highs won't even reach 20 degrees! Having laid the broad brush strokes, let's paint in the daily details.

Mild and rainy to start November; sunshine returns on Sunday

Good day to you, good people of southern Vermont! Overall, November appears to be a month of oscillation. We should see a mild start, a potentially colder middle period, and then a milder end of the month. This will likely be due to a ridge (i.e., a large area of high pressure in the upper levels) near Greenland. These blocks are only foreseeable a couple of weeks out, and this signal continues to show itself lately. This should help push...

Nor’easter brings weekend rain, snow, wind

Good day to you, hearty southern Vermonters! Our comparative cold snap continues through the end of the month. Fortunately, it looks like November will moderate in the Department of Reasonable November Temperatures, so we're not just being hurled from summer into winter! As for our sensible weather, we'll start this Wednesday morning with leftover rain or snow showers before clearing out for Wednesday afternoon through Friday evening. Expect cold temperatures during this period! Our coastal storm will be impacting us...

Hard freeze expected by Friday morning as cooler conditions continue

Good day to you, dwellers of the hills and valleys of southeastern Vermont! Our weather pattern has finally and completely flipped into deeper autumn, and we saw our first frost and high-elevation accumulating snowfall over the last weekend as well. Foliage is soon to peak and pass, the chance for snow is slowly increasing, and the cycles of life continue. In summary, we've got a cold front that will pass through Wednesday (which is today, if you're reading this paper...

Summer of 2018 waves goodbye as deeper autumnal pattern arrives

Good day to you, denizens of the verdant Green Mountains of southern Vermont! If you're reading this column on Wednesday (its day of publication) and you enjoy summer weather, seize the present moment and get outside! Unseasonable warmth and humidity are most likely leaving these shores until the spring of 2019, barring any anomalous mid-cold season warm surges, of which we've had a few over the past several years. Autumn is arriving and will be preceded by a good bout...

A balmy, breezy Thursday begets a cooler, sunnier weekend

Good day to you, southeastern Vermonters! Overall, we're watching the resurgence of a very strong high pressure ridge that looks to set up shop east of the Mid-Atlantic region in the western Atlantic Ocean. This will likely keep us on the warmer side through the middle of October before we have a chance to step down into cooler climes for the back half of the month. Sometimes these ridges are stubborn, especially when combined with or influenced by any tropical...
