The Vermont Weather Podcast

Good evening. Vermont. I'm Aaron Jolly. That gray sky at 31 degrees feels heavy, doesn't it? it's the quiet before a messy night. We've a Winter Weather Advisory up for southern Vermont until 5 A.M. Wednesday, as snow flips to a wintry mix. In the next 24 hours. Here's the timeline. Snow arrives statewide right around 8 P.M. Tonight. Central and Northeast Vermont pick up 1 to 3 inches before midnight. Southern Vermont sees a coating to an inch before the changeover begins. Sleet and freezing rain could glaze the roads by early morning, so take it slow on the commute. Overnight, temperatures settle in the upper 20s. But then the sun returns tomorrow. Highs climb to 41 in the south, 43 in the northeast. And 46 degrees in central Vermont. That's a solid 19 degrees warmer than usual for early March — a real taste of spring. Thursday stays mild in the mid-40s, but another system slides in Thursday night. Freezing rain is possible, especially in central and southern Vermont. That could make for some slick travel come Friday morning. Then the pattern really flips. Saturday brings rain and a surge of warmth, with highs near 55 degrees. We stay mild through Tuesday, running 15 to 20 degrees above normal. Our snowpack is going to take a hit. Tonight's full moon rises at sunset. If the clouds break, it will light up the fresh snow beautifully. We're gaining over 3 minutes of daylight every day now. Spring is just 17 days away. Keep an eye on those back roads tonight. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good afternoon. Vermont. I'm Jack O'Malley. Folks, enjoy the quiet while it lasts. Because tonight gets messy. A stalled warm front to our south is feeding a storm system right at us. Snow rolls in this evening. But the twist? Warmer air sneaks in overhead and turns that snow into sleet, then freezing rain. Classic March treachery. In the next 24 hours. Southern Vermont catches the worst of it. Snow starts around 7 P.M., mixes with sleet, then freezing rain creeps in toward dawn. Three to five inches pile up before it tapers off. A Winter Weather Advisory runs until 5 A.M. Wednesday. If you're driving south of Rutland tonight, take it slow. That glaze of ice is the stuff that puts cars in ditches. Push north into central Vermont and you're looking at snow from 7 P.M. Through midnight. One to three inches, maybe a hint of freezing drizzle before it quits. Lows settle near 29 degrees. Up in the Northeast Kingdom, similar story. Snow wraps up by 1 A.M. One to three inches on the ground. Lows near 25 degrees, feeling like 23. Not brutal, but that wind will find your collar. Now the good news. Wednesday is a completely different day. High pressure rolls in with sunshine and highs in the low to mid 40s. That's 19 degrees above normal for early March. Your windshield will actually be dry for once. Thursday starts quiet, then another round of freezing rain arrives Thursday night. Slick travel into Friday morning. But the weekend? Southwesterly flow pushes us into the 50s. Saturday could hit 56 degrees in central Vermont. Rain comes with it, but after tonight's wintry mix, 56 will feel like a vacation. In Sunrise at 6, 28 A.M., sunset at 5:44 P.M. We're gaining three minutes of daylight every day. The equinox is just two weeks out. Charge your phone tonight. If the power flickers from that ice, you'll want it ready. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. Take care! That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning. Vermont. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside this morning and you'll feel that classic March chill. We're starting at 19 degrees under clear skies. But here's the story today. A warm front is lifting north from the mid-Atlantic. It's riding up and over the dense cold air currently parked over Vermont. This overrunning pattern sets the stage for snow by this afternoon. In the next 24 hours. Southern Vermont sees the first flakes around noon. You'll get heavy snow accumulating 2 to 4 inches. Temperatures hover near 32 degrees. The snow mixes with sleet and freezing rain this evening before ending around midnight. Watch for a glaze of ice on roads. In Central Vermont, expect partly sunny skies this morning. The high reaches 38 degrees. Snow arrives by 3 P.M. You might see 1 to 3 inches of accumulation. The snow tapers off after midnight with a low around 27 degrees. Northeast Vermont holds onto the sunshine longest. Your high climbs to 39 degrees. A chance of light snow pops up after 5 P.M. Accumulation looks light, less than half an inch. Temperatures drop to 24 degrees overnight. Wednesday brings a break. Highs jump into the mid-40s under mostly sunny skies. Looking ahead, the week gets interesting. Thursday brings a chance of rain showers with highs near 45. Thursday night into Friday morning is the next window to watch. A cold air damming event could develop. This brings a chance of freezing rain for southern Vermont and the Greens. The weekend turns much warmer. Highs soar into the low 50s. This warmth, combined with rain, will melt our snowpack. We'll need to monitor rivers for potential ice jams. Charge your phone before you head out today. You're going to need it. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. Take care That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good evening. Vermont. I'm Aaron Jolly. Folks, that sunshine today was a beautiful liar. Clear skies, brilliant blue. and 20 degrees. A strong high pressure system is pulling frigid Canadian air straight down across the state tonight. That crystal clear sky and deep snowpack? They're a radiational cooling machine. Temperatures are about to fall off a cliff. In the next 24 hours. Southern Vermont topped out at 21 degrees today. Tonight? Minus 7. Central Vermont hit 22 and drops to minus 6. Push into the Northeast Kingdom and you're looking at minus 9 by dawn. That's the kind of cold where your eyelashes stick together. This is likely the last below zero night of the season. so if your pipes survived this winter, give them one more night of love. Let those faucets drip. Monday morning bites hard. Highs only reach 17 degrees down south, 22 central, 18 in the Kingdom. Still sunny, still cold. but Tuesday. Tuesday changes the whole story. A weak low pressure system slides in bringing snow to southern Vermont by evening. One to three inches possible down there. Central and northeast areas pick up a coating to an inch Tuesday night. Then the real plot twist. Wednesday the air flips. Highs jump into the 40s. Thursday and Friday bring rain chances, still in the 40s. By Saturday we could touch the 50s. That's a 30 degrees swing from tonight's lows to the weekend. Wild. And speaking of turning points, we gained over three minutes of daylight today. Sunrise at 6:32 A.M., sunset at 5:41 P.M. The spring equinox is just two weeks out. Prime maple sugaring weather is knocking on the door. Those freeze and thaw cycles coming midweek? Sap's going to be running. Charge your phone tonight.

Good afternoon. Vermont. I'm Aaron Jolly. Folks. Canadian high pressure has muscled in behind last night's cold front. and it brought its A game. Step outside right now and you're feeling about 20 degrees. That's 16 degrees below normal for the first day of March. Northwest winds at 5 to 8 miles an hour make it sting just enough. Sunny skies look gorgeous through the window. but that sunshine is all show, no warmth. In the next 24 hours. Highs today top out around 21 to 22 degrees statewide. Pretty uniform cold from Bennington to Newport. Now tonight is where things get serious. Clear skies and calm winds set up textbook radiational cooling. Southern Vermont drops to minus 9.

Light snow showers are brushing Southern and Central Vermont through mid morning. We're talking a dusting. Nothing to worry about. The real story is what's riding in behind this system. Skies clear this afternoon, but don't let the sunshine fool you. Southern Vermont tops out at 21 degrees. Central Vermont, 22. The Kingdom? Also 21. Northwest winds at 8 miles an hour will shave a few more degrees off that. The kind of afternoon where the sun looks warm through the window but lies to your face the second you step outside. Tonight is where it gets serious. Clear skies, calm winds, perfect radiational cooling. Southern Vermont plunges to minus 9. Central Vermont drops to minus 4. The Kingdom matches the south at minus 9. Wind chills could push minus 12 by dawn. That's frostbite cold, folks. Cover every inch of skin if you're heading out early Monday. Monday brings blue skies but stubborn cold. Highs only reach 15 degrees south, 22 degrees central, 19 degrees north. Prime maple season on the calendar, but the sap is staying put. Now.

Good evening. Vermont. I'm Aaron Jolly. Folks, if you stepped outside today and thought spring had arrived early. I don't blame you. Forty six degrees and clear skies in late February. That's 16 degrees above normal. Soak up that memory, because what's coming next is going to feel personal. In the next 24 hours., A cold front is knifing through the state right now. and behind it? The atmosphere just falls off a cliff. We're talking a 30 degrees temperature crash overnight. By tomorrow morning. Southern Vermont bottoms out around 16 degrees. Central Vermont drops to 14. The Northeast Kingdom settles near 13. That's not a gentle cooldown. That's whiplash. Now here's where it gets interesting. A weak disturbance is riding along that front. Light snow develops after 5 A.M. Sunday, mainly across Southern Vermont. One to three inches could coat the roads by midday. Central Vermont might see a few flurries around 9 A.M., but not much sticks. The Kingdom? Stays dry. Classic Vermont. Three different days in one state. Sunday highs only scratch 20 degrees statewide. Then Sunday night is the real kicker. Clear skies, calm winds, fresh snow on the ground. That's a recipe for brutal radiational cooling. Lows plunge to minus 6 in the south, minus 5 in central Vermont. and minus 9 in the Kingdom. That's frostbite cold. Cover every inch of exposed skin. Monday brings sunshine but no warmth. Teens at best. Then Tuesday the pattern flips. Southerly flow pushes highs back into the 30s, with snow moving in by afternoon. Two to four inches possible by Wednesday morning. The back half of the week turns milder and wetter. Highs climb into the 40s with rain likely through Friday. The spring equinox is just 20 days out.

Good afternoon. Vermont. I'm Aaron Jolly. Folks, step outside and you might think winter called in sick today. We're sitting at a balmy 42 degrees right now. That's a full 16 degrees above the February normal. but here's the catch. That warmth is leaving. A sharp cold front is sweeping through the state this afternoon. In the next 24 hours. This front triggers a dramatic temperature crash. You'll see temperatures drop 30 to 40 degrees by tonight. The sky turns partly sunny this afternoon. Winds shift from the southwest to the northwest. Expect gusts up to 25 miles an hour. Tonight brings a rush of Arctic air. Lows plunge into the teens across Southern Vermont and single digits up north. but the story isn't just the cold. It's the snow. A weak wave of low pressure rides the front. Snow develops after midnight. The best chance is across Southern Vermont. You could see a quick inch of accumulation by Sunday morning. Sunday turns much colder. Highs struggle to reach the low 20s. Any flurries end early. Then, the real deep freeze sets in Sunday night. Under clear skies, temperatures plummet. The Northeast Kingdom drops to minus 9. Central Vermont falls to minus 5. Even Southern Vermont sees lows near zero. Monday offers sunshine, but it stays bitter cold. Highs only reach the upper teens. Looking ahead to the week ahead, the pattern stays active. Tuesday brings another chance for snow. Moisture returns as temperatures climb into the 30s. We could see several inches of wet snow. By Thursday, the weather warms further. Rain becomes likely as highs approach the mid 40s. It looks like a wet end to the work week. For today, enjoy the sun while it lasts. The air quality is moderate. Just be ready for a sharp reality check by tonight. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

That's 17 degrees above normal for February. The Northeast Kingdom reaches 43. Even southern Vermont warms to 39. In the next 24 hours. Soak up every minute of it. Because what comes next is brutal. That front arrives late morning with scattered rain and snow showers. Central Vermont catches a brief rain chance around 9 A.M. The Kingdom sees a mix around 10 A.M. Southern Vermont stays mostly dry. Watch for gusts to 35 miles an hour in the Champlain Valley. They'll rattle the windows. Tonight the atmosphere flips like a light switch. Arctic air crashes in behind the front. Southern Vermont drops to 16 degrees. Central falls to 15. The Kingdom sinks to 13. A weak low develops along the stalled front, squeezing out 1 to 3 inches of snow across southern areas overnight into Sunday. Northern spots see less. Either way, untreated roads get slick. Then Sunday night. The real punch lands. Lows plunge below zero statewide. The Kingdom bottoms out at minus 7. Southern Vermont hits minus 5. That's the kind of cold where your car door handle bites back. Monday stays locked in the deep freeze. Highs barely crack the teens to low 20s. Looking further out. Tuesday brings clouds and late day snow, maybe 1 to 3 inches. Wednesday clears with highs rebounding into the 40s.

It feels like spring for now, but don't get used to it. A sharp cold front arrives late Saturday, flipping the script right back to deep winter. In the next 24 hours. Step outside in Southern Vermont and you're feeling 33 degrees under sunny skies. You'll drop to about 25 degrees tonight under mostly clear skies. Saturday brings a high near 39 degrees with a few rain showers possible around mid-morning. Saturday night turns colder with lows around 17 degrees.

Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Folks, while you were sleeping. Vermont pulled off a magic trick. Temperatures bottomed out at 7 degrees before dawn. Then rocketed up 25 degrees by the time you poured your coffee. High pressure gave us those gorgeous clear skies overnight, but that same clarity let the cold drain away fast. Now southerly winds are flooding in. and the whole state's sitting in the mid 30s. Central Vermont and the Kingdom are both at 35 to 36 degrees. Southern Vermont trails just slightly at 33. All of that runs about 7 degrees above normal for late February. In the next 24 hours. Now the real show starts tonight. A clipper system races north of us, dragging a southerly low level jet right across the state. Translation? Wind. Serious wind. The Champlain Valley gets hammered with gusts between 30 and 45 miles an hour overnight. You'll hear it. but that wind is carrying warmth like a gift. Saturday becomes our mildest day since mid January. Central Vermont and the Kingdom both touch 43 degrees. Southern Vermont hits 39. Enjoy that warmth. Because a cold front slams through Saturday evening. Temperatures nosedive. By Sunday morning, light snow blankets the state. One to 3 inches across central Vermont. One to 2 inches down south. A coating to an inch in the Kingdom. Sunday morning commutes get slippery, especially on untreated roads. Then the real gut punch. Sunday night lows crater to 4 below zero in southern and central areas. Six below in the Kingdom. Monday barely cracks the teens. This might be winter's last deep freeze. Looking further out, temperatures recover Tuesday into Wednesday. Early risers Tuesday, keep your eyes up around 6 A.M. For a total lunar eclipse through partly cloudy skies. Snow chances creep back in midweek. and another system brings mixed precipitation by late week. Spring equinox is three weeks out, folks. I'll be tracking that wind all night. Sleep tight if you can.

Not bad for the Kingdom in February. Now tonight is where things get interesting. Temperatures nosedive. Southern Vermont drops to 5 degrees. Central Vermont falls to 8. And the Kingdom? One degree above zero. The kind of cold where your furnace earns its keep. Looking ahead, Friday brings a nice rebound. Sunny skies statewide, mid 30s. Saturday? Even better. Highs push into the 40s.

Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. Welcome to the Vermont Weather Podcast for Wednesday, February 25th. So that 7 degrees wake up call this morning? Yeah. Vermont had other plans for your blanket situation. But now we've swung all the way up to the upper 30s.. And a clipper system is about to crash the party. Snow showers are rolling in this afternoon. And the timing is going to mess with your drive home. Let's start in the middle of the state. Central Vermont's sitting at 38 degrees right now. That's 9 above normal for late February. Enjoy the mild air while it lasts, because rain and snow showers kick in after 4 P.M. By 9 P.M., snow becomes the main event. You could wake up to about an inch of fresh coating on everything. Now head south. Southern Vermont tops out around 31 degrees under heavy gray skies. Snow chances climb after 5 P.M. and peak around 7 P.M. If you're anywhere near the Bennington County mountains above 1500 feet, pay attention. A Winter Weather Advisory is up. Three to six inches possible through Thursday morning. That's real accumulation, folks. Push north into the Kingdom and you're at 33 degrees with just a few flurries possible around midday. Overnight though, snow showers become likely across the region. Lows tonight drop to 16 degrees statewide. Thursday clears out to partly sunny skies but cooler.. Upper 20s to low 30s. Now the week ahead tells quite a story. Friday looks gorgeous. Saturday delivers a tease.. Highs flirting with 45 degrees in spots. Savor every second of that warmth. A cold front barrels through Saturday night and slams the door shut. Sunday into Tuesday, highs barely scratch the 20s. Overnight lows plunge below zero. The kind of cold where your car door handle fights back. One bright spot. We're gaining over 3 minutes of daylight today. Spring equinox is just 3 weeks out. The light is winning, even when the thermometer disagrees. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Vermont Weather Podcast. It's Wednesday, February 25th. Folks, grab your coffee and your snow brush. A clipper system is sliding in fast. And snow is already spreading east. Visibilities could drop to half a mile. If you're commuting early, give yourself extra time. Down in southern Vermont, snow flies from 5 A.M. to 10 A.M., peaking around 7 A.M. You're waking up to 13 degrees.. But it feels like 5 on your skin. That's the kind of cold that bites through your gloves. Winds swing from south to southwest around 9 A.M. Three to five inches of fresh powder by the time it wraps up. Highs climb to 31 degrees by 2 P.M. Now push north into the central valleys. Snow rolls in from 6 A.M. to 10 A.M., also peaking around 7 A.M. You're starting at 10 degrees around 5 A.M., then warming to 38 degrees by 3 P.M. That's nine degrees above the February normal. Only one to two inches here. Up in the Northeast Kingdom, you're the cold champion this morning. Three degrees at 5 A.M. Snow runs 7 A.M. to 11 A.M., peaking around 8 A.M. Less than an inch expected. High of 33 degrees by 4 P.M. Tonight, scattered snow showers linger before 11 P.M. Lows settle into the teens statewide. Thursday brings partly sunny skies and highs in the upper 20s to low 30s. Looking further out, Friday turns sunny with mid 30s. Saturday's the gem.. Highs push into the 40s. Enjoy that while you can. Sunday, winter slams the door shut. Snow chances return with highs only in the low 20s. Early next week looks brutal. Single digit lows. Quick history note. On this day in 1969, Burlington got buried under 24 inches from a two day nor'easter. Today won't match that, but we're still in peak snowfall season. Sunrise at 6:38 A.M., sunset at 5:36 P.M. Three more minutes of daylight. We're getting there. I'll be watching this clipper all morning. Take care out there. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Vermont Weather Podcast for Tuesday, February 24th. Folks — winter's still got a firm grip on us tonight. And it's not letting go anytime soon. If you're stepping outside right now, you're feeling it. Temperatures across the state have dropped into the single digits and low teens. And the wind is making it feel even worse. Down in Burlington, you're sitting around 8 degrees with wind chills pushing below zero. That's the kind of cold that bites the second you open the door. Over in Montpelier, it's hovering near 5 degrees. And up in the Northeast Kingdom? **Brutal.** St. Johnsbury's dipping close to minus 5. Dress warmly if you're heading out for anything tonight. Here's what's interesting — we've got a clipper system sliding in from the northwest overnight. You'll want to keep an eye on that. It's not a major storm, but it's dropping a quick 2 to 4 inches across the northern half of the state by Wednesday morning. The southern valleys — Brattleboro, Bennington — you're looking at maybe an inch, possibly just a dusting. Classic Vermont temperature and snow divide. Now here's your heads-up for the week ahead. Wednesday stays cold with highs barely cracking 20. Thursday brings a brief warm-up — and I use that term loosely — mid-20s to low 30s. But by Friday, another shot of Arctic air barrels in. We could see overnight lows plunge back to minU S One0 in the valleys. **Dangerous cold**, no question about it. If you're a skier, Stowe and Killington are loving this pattern. Fresh powder on top of a solid base? That's about as good as February gets. Perfect conditions for hitting the slopes this week if you can handle the windchill on the lifts. One more thing — the full moon rises Thursday night. If skies clear, it'll be absolutely stunning reflecting off all that fresh snow. Worth a peek out the window. Tonight. Keep the woodstove going, check on your neighbors. And don't forget to let those faucets drip if your pipes are exposed. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. Welcome to the Vermont Weather Podcast for Tuesday, February 24th. Folks, step outside right now and you're feeling 13 degrees. That's 11 degrees below normal for late February. Arctic air has settled in and it's not leaving quietly. Down in Southern Vermont, you're topping out at 16 degrees today. West winds gusting to 24 miles an hour push wind chills to minus 3. That's the kind of cold that bites through two layers. Tonight drops to 4 degrees. Then snow sneaks in after 3 AM, peaks around 9 AM Wednesday. And wraps up by 11 AM. You're looking at 1 to 3 inches.. Right in time for the morning commute. Push north into Central Vermont and you'll see 18 degrees under partly sunny skies. Tonight falls to 5 degrees. Winds flip from northwest to southeast around 2 AM. And snow follows shortly after. Peak snowfall hits around 7 AM Wednesday. Now the Northeast Kingdom. The coldest corner of the state. Highs only reach 17 degrees today. Tonight? You're plunging to minus 2. Snow holds off until about 5 AM Wednesday, peaking at 7 AM. Lighter totals up here, but the roads will still be slippery. Wednesday's the real headliner. Southern Vermont could stack up 3 to 5 inches total. Central and the Kingdom see less, but enough to make every commute an adventure. Give yourself extra time. Here's what the rest of the week looks like. Thursday and Friday ease up. Highs climb into the 30s. Practically tropical compared to today. Saturday brings a genuine surprise.. Low 40s. Snowmelt weather. But enjoy that warmth while the sun's up. A cold front crashes the party Saturday night, dragging us back to the teens and 20s for Sunday and Monday. One bright spot. We're gaining 3 minutes of daylight today. Sunrise at 6:40, sunset at 5:34. Charge those phones tonight. Cold batteries and early alarms don't mix well. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Vermont Weather Podcast. It's Tuesday, February 24th. Folks, step outside right now and you're feeling 16 degrees. That's eight degrees below normal for late February. Today's high only climbs to 21. This is the kind of cold that makes your steering wheel feel personal. But here's what makes today interesting.. It's the calm before a sneaky little clipper system. Southern Vermont, you're first in line. Snow rolls in around 3 A.M. Tonight. The heaviest burst hits near 5 A.M. You'll wake up to 1 to 3 inches on the ground. And get this. Temperatures actually rise overnight. You're at 4 degrees around 10 P.M., then climbing to 13 degrees by morning. Snow and warming at the same time. Only February pulls that trick. Slide up through the central valleys. Your snow window is tight. Just 3 A.M. To 5 A.M. Around 2 A.M., winds flip from northwest to southeast, dragging in milder air. A dusting and a messy morning commute. That's your deal. Now the Northeast Kingdom. You're sitting at 18 degrees today, dropping to minus 1 by 11 P.M. Coldest air in the state tonight. A brief snow chance around 5 A.M., then you're through it. Wednesday is where things get spicy. That clipper brings snow squalls. Rapid visibility drops, slick roads, especially afternoon. But temperatures rocket up. Southern Vermont hits 36 degrees. Even the Kingdom reaches 31. That's a 15 degree jump from today. Looking ahead, Thursday and Friday dry out. Highs settle into the 30s, right where late February should be. Saturday.. Teases us with mid 40s. Feels like March showed up early. Then Sunday a cold front yanks it all back. A 30 degree swing in 24 hours. One bright spot. Sunrise at 6:40 A.M., sunset at 5:34 P.M. Three more minutes of daylight. Every minute counts this time of year. I'll be tracking those squalls all night. Keep the ice scraper handy for Wednesday morning. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Vermont Weather Podcast for Monday, February 23rd. That nor'easter is finally done with us.. But it left a parting gift. The south is buried. The north is bone dry. And tonight? Everybody freezes. Down in southern Vermont, you're digging out. Temperatures hit 20 degrees around 5 P.M., then the bottom drops out. By 8 A.M. Tomorrow you're at 7 degrees. Wind chills pushing minus 2. That's frostbite territory, folks. Cover every inch of skin if you're shoveling. Now push north on Route 100 into central Vermont. You've got a sneaky little snow burst rolling through between midnight and 4 A.M. Maybe half an inch. Nothing dramatic, but enough to slick the roads. Winds swing northwest around 10 P.M., so it'll feel raw. You're starting at 26 degrees this evening and waking up to 10. Over in the Northeast Kingdom, it stays dry but wicked cold. Highs near 25 degrees at 5 P.M., crashing to 10 by morning. Wind chills dip to minus 2. Your car battery is going to hate you tomorrow. Now the week ahead tells a wild story. The first half stays locked in winter's grip. Wednesday a clipper swoops through. One to three inches of light snow. Quick and messy. Thursday and Friday hold steady in the cold.. Then Saturday happens. Highs near 40 degrees in the south. Mid 40s up north. February acting like April. You might actually unzip your jacket. But don't get too comfortable. Sunday slams us back to the 20s with snow chances. Classic Vermont whiplash. I'll be tracking that Wednesday clipper overnight. Charge your phone, top off the tank. And let your faucets drip tonight. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. Welcome to the Vermont Weather Podcast for Monday, February 23rd. That nor'easter shifted south, but don't get comfortable.. Vermont's still catching a punch. Snow rolls in statewide by 11 A.M. And folks, the southern part of the state is about to get buried. Southern Vermont takes the worst of it. Snow and blowing snow from 11 A.M. Through 5 P.M. You're looking at 3 to 5 inches. Highs barely touch 23 degrees around noon, then the bottom drops out. By 8 A.M. Tuesday you're at 7 degrees. Winds swing northwest around 9 P.M. And wind chills hit minus 5 by morning. That's frostbite territory on bare skin. Drive north on Route 100 into central Vermont and the snow eases up. Just a dusting to half an inch. Still gusty though. North winds around 12 miles an hour. You'll hit 31 degrees near 2 P.M. Before sliding to 10 degrees by 7 A.M. Tuesday. Wind shifts northwest around 10 P.M. Now push into the Northeast Kingdom. You're splitting the difference. One to 2 inches through 6 P.M. Highs near 28 degrees around noon. Lows tumble to 10 degrees by 8 A.M. Tuesday. Winds swing northwest around 2 A.M. Here's your week ahead. Wednesday brings round two. Another 3 to 5 inches possible in southern Vermont. Central and the Kingdom see 1 to 2 inches. Then something wild happens. By Saturday, highs rocket into the 40s statewide. Mud season teaser right there. But Sunday snaps us back. Low 30s with a slight chance of snow. Classic February head fake. Keep those phone chargers handy tonight. Cold like this drains batteries almost as fast as it drains your patience. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Vermont Weather Podcast. It's Monday, February 23rd. Folks, southern Vermont is getting hammered right now. A Winter Storm Warning runs until 7 P.M. Tonight. Snow's been falling since 5 A.M. And won't quit until 5 P.M. We're talking 6 to 10 inches down south, with gusts hitting 38 miles an hour. That's the kind of wind that turns snowflakes into tiny missiles. By tonight, wind chills drop to minus 2. If you're anywhere near Bennington or Brattleboro.. Stay put if you can. Now push north on Route 100 into the central valleys. You're catching a break. Just a dusting today, maybe half an inch. Winds shift north around 7 A.M. Highs reach 31 degrees around 2 P.M., then the bottom falls out. By Tuesday at 5 A.M., you're waking up to 13 degrees. Feels like 3. Up in the Northeast Kingdom, even quieter. A slight chance of light snow. Highs near 28 degrees. But tonight the cold sneaks in hard. Down to 12 degrees by 5 A.M., feeling like 2. Your car battery is going to have opinions about that. The real villain this week isn't the snow. It's what comes after. Tuesday morning, wind chills plummet to minus 5 in the valleys, minus 15 in the mountains. Northeast Vermont could dip to minus 2 actual air temperature. That's frostbite territory in under 30 minutes. Tuesday gives you partly sunny skies and teens to low 20s. Enjoy the calm. A clipper slides through Wednesday with 1 to 3 inches, maybe 4 in the mountains. And highs rebound to the mid 30s. Thursday into Friday gets interesting. A wintry mix moves in. Mostly snow, but some sleet or rain could sneak into southern Vermont. Highs climb to the upper 30s by Friday. Then Saturday.. Sunshine and 40 degrees. Ten degrees above normal. Almost suspicious. Winds shift north around 11 A.M. Down south today. Keep that in mind if you're shoveling. Work with the wind, not against it. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Vermont Weather Podcast. It's Sunday, February 22nd. Folks, a nor'easter is bearing down on us tonight. And southern Vermont is squarely in the crosshairs. This one's no joke. Heavy snow, gusty winds. And a flash freeze on the back end. If you've got Monday travel plans, you'll want to rethink them. Right now we're sitting at 32 degrees under partly cloudy skies. Enjoy the calm. It won't last. Snow arrives in Bennington and Windham Counties around 10 PM tonight. By 4 AM it's falling hard, an inch an hour at times. That brutal rate keeps up through noon Monday. By the time it quits around 5 PM, southern Vermont could be buried under 8 to 12 inches. Winds gusting to 35 miles an hour will create near whiteout conditions. Stay off Route 9 and I-91 if you can. Now push north into central Vermont. Snow creeps in later, around 2 AM to 3 AM. Montpelier and Rutland wake up to heavy stuff Monday morning. One to 3 inches by the time it tapers at 5 PM. Northeast winds at 20 to 25 miles an hour make Routes 4 and 7 miserable. Up in the Kingdom, you catch a break. Snow holds off until 6 AM Monday. Totals stay light, just an inch or two around St. Johnsbury and Newport. But gusts near 30 miles an hour still make for tricky driving on Route 5. The real villain arrives Monday night. Temperatures crash to single digits north, teens south. Wind chills plunge to minus 10, minus 15. That's frostbite in 30 minutes territory. Cover every inch of skin. Looking ahead, Tuesday stays brutally cold with lows below zero up north. Wednesday a quick clipper dusts us with an inch. Thursday and Friday turn unsettled with temps climbing into the mid 30s and a possible snow and rain mix. Saturday? Near 40 degrees and sunshine. That's our reward for surviving this week. One more thing. We're gaining almost 3 minutes of daylight each day now. Sunrise at 6:43 AM, sunset at 5:32 PM. The light's coming back even if winter isn't done with us yet. Charge your phones, fill the gas tank. And keep a flashlight handy tonight. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Vermont Weather Podcast. It's Sunday, February 22nd. Folks, enjoy the quiet while it lasts. A nor'easter is winding up off the Mid-Atlantic right now. And it's aiming straight at us tonight. This one's going to hit hard. Southern Vermont takes the biggest punch. Snow starts around 4 PM today. By tonight it turns into a full assault. Eight to twelve inches by Monday evening. Winds gusting to 38 miles an hour. Blowing snow. Near zero visibility. You're looking at 26 degrees right now, but by Monday morning? Eight degrees. Wind chills dropping to minus 3. A Winter Storm Warning kicks in at 7 PM tonight. If you're anywhere near Bennington or Brattleboro, get your errands done now. Slide up through the Green Mountains into central Vermont. You'll want to watch for light snow starting around 11 this morning, tapering by 1 PM. Then round two sneaks in after 2 AM. One to three inches by dawn. Highs today reach 34 degrees, but overnight the bottom drops out to 10 degrees. Feels like 13 by 8 AM Monday. Up in the Northeast Kingdom, things stay quieter. Snow holds off until around 4 AM Monday. Just one to two inches. Highs today hit 34 degrees, sliding to 10 degrees by morning. Feels like 13 by 7 AM. Monday morning's commute is going to be treacherous across the state. If you can work from home, do it. Now the rest of the week tells an interesting story. Monday stays bitter. Wind chills near minus 15 up north. Tuesday gives you a breather with some sun. Wednesday a clipper drops another one to three inches. Thursday and Friday bring scattered snow showers. But here's the plot twist. Saturday warms into the low 40s. That's practically spring around here. Charge your devices tonight and keep a flashlight handy. This storm means business. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Vermont Weather Podcast. It's Sunday, February 22nd. Folks, enjoy your coffee slowly this morning. Because a nor'easter is loading up, and it's got Southern Vermont square in its sights. Right now you're stepping outside to 16 degrees and overcast skies. Feels quiet. Almost too quiet. That changes fast. Let's drive south first. If you're anywhere near Bennington or Brattleboro, this storm is coming for you tonight. Snow rolls in after dark, and by Monday morning it's the horizontal, can't see your mailbox kind. We're talking 4 to 8 inches by dawn. Then another 8 to 12 through Monday. That's potentially a foot in 24 hours. Gusts near 40 miles an hour will turn it into a white out. The National Weather Service has a Winter Storm Warning up. Temperatures crash to 8 degrees Monday night. Wind chills? Minus 10. Your face will know it. Now head up Route 100 into Central Vermont. You'll actually hit 37 degrees today. That's 8 above normal for February. Soak up that number, because it vanishes overnight. Snow starts light tonight, then 1 to 3 inches by Monday afternoon. Gusts to 25 miles an hour. Lows plunge to 10 degrees. Not the monster the south gets, but winter reminding you who's boss. Up in the Northeast Kingdom? You're the lucky ones. Mostly sunny skies, highs near 36 degrees. A few flurries drift in overnight. Maybe an inch or two by Monday. Lows tonight around 18 degrees. You'll barely notice this storm passed through. Here's what the week sets up. Tuesday morning feels like minus 15 in the north. Brutal. A clipper drops light snow Wednesday morning, right during your commute. Thursday brings another system, possibly snow or a wintry mix, though the track's still wobbly. Then Saturday? We bounce back to the 40s. A little reward for surviving the week. Sunrise hits 6:43 this morning, sunset at 5:32. We're gaining three minutes of daylight every day now. The light is winning. One quick thing. If you're finding these updates useful, share us with a neighbor. Word of mouth keeps this going. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Vermont Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 21st. Folks, winter is loading up for one last haymaker. Southern Vermont is about to get walloped, while the Northeast Kingdom got sunshine and a free pass today. A 20 degree temperature swing across the state. Classic Vermont. Here's the deal. Down south around Bennington, you're sitting at 32 degrees right now, but it feels like 19 with that wind. Light snow dusted things this afternoon. That's just the appetizer. The real storm rolls in Sunday at 5 P.M. By Monday morning, you're looking at 3 to 7 inches. Gusts to 35 miles an hour. Near whiteout conditions in the Greens. A Winter Storm Watch is up, and you'll want to charge your devices tonight. Wet, heavy snow plus wind equals power outages. Head north into central Vermont. Burlington hit 34 degrees today, actually above our February normal of 29. You dodge the worst of it. A slight chance of snow showers Sunday, then maybe an inch or two Monday. Manageable stuff. Now up in the Kingdom. Newport, you won the weather lottery today. Sunshine and 34 degrees with barely a breeze. But tonight your thermometer plummets to 7 degrees. That's the kind of cold where your nostrils stick together. If you're driving south Sunday night, don't. I 91 and Route 7 will be treacherous. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Tuesday brings an Arctic blast. Highs struggling to reach 20 degrees. Wind chills near minus 15. Wednesday, a second system drops light snow statewide with some wintry mix in the valleys. Thursday and Friday we finally warm up near 36 degrees, but with rain and snow mixing. Feels like a mud season preview. One bright spot. We're gaining nearly 3 minutes of daylight each day. Spring is coming. But winter's got one more punch to throw first. So. If this forecast helped you plan your weekend, share it with a neighbor. It really helps us grow. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Stay safe out there, folks.

Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Vermont Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 21st, and folks, a Nor'easter is knocking on our door. We already picked up nearly 3 inches of fresh snow this morning. Here's the deal. That was just the appetizer. Southern Vermont, you're the main course. Light snow starts sneaking in around 4 this afternoon down south. Highs barely touch 32 degrees. But tonight? That's when this storm gets serious. Snow becomes likely between 4 and 8, and by 7 Sunday morning you're waking up to 17 degrees. Winds swing from east to southeast around 1 A.M. By Monday, you're looking at 3 to 7 inches of new snow. Monday morning could bring an inch per hour. That's the kind of snowfall that makes your commute feel like an expedition. Now drive north on Route 100 into central Vermont. You'll stay dry today. Enjoy it. Highs hit 36 degrees by 2 Sunday afternoon. Then the bottom drops out. Eleven degrees by Monday morning. A chance of snow returns Monday with north winds gusting to 28 miles an hour. Tuesday's high? Just 22 degrees. That's January cold wearing a February disguise. Up in the Northeast Kingdom, you're catching the edge of this thing. Mostly sunny today, but tonight dips to 7 degrees around 4 A.M. Seven. Your phone might quit before you do. Monday brings a slight chance of light snow, but wind chills below zero are the real story. Bundle up if you're heading out. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. The storm clears Monday night, but Wednesday brings another system with snow statewide. Thursday warms into the mid 30s with a possible rain and snow mix. Friday stays unsettled near 34 degrees. And hey, we're gaining almost 3 minutes of daylight every day now. Spring is out there, plotting its comeback. One more thing. If this forecast helped you plan your weekend, share it with a neighbor. Word of mouth keeps us going. Stay safe out there. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Vermont Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 17th. Folks, here's the deal. Vermont is doing that thing where the thermometer barely moves, but somehow every region feels different. Southern Vermont sits at 32 degrees right now. Light northwest winds. Quiet skies. Maybe a stray flurry, but nothing that'll change your Saturday plans. Now drive north on Route 100. Central Vermont reads 34 degrees with a bit more breeze out of the north. Clouds are thicker up here, and you've got a decent chance of light snow showers sneaking in later. Keep heading into the Northeast Kingdom and you're seeing that same 34 degrees. A few more clouds drifting through, but nothing dramatic. Here's the thing. Tonight we all slide back into the 20s together. Winds stay gentle, so no brutal wind chills. Just that clean, still February cold that makes your boots crunch on the snow. Tomorrow brings a small gift. Highs push into the upper 30s for most of the state. Still below normal for mid February, but after the deep freeze we just survived, 38 degrees might feel like a spa day. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. No big storms lurking. No arctic air diving south. Just steady, classic February. Temperatures hang in the 30s with occasional flurries. Think of it as Vermont on cruise control. Not exciting, but reliable. One bright spot worth celebrating. Sunrise hit 6:45 this morning. Sunset stretches to 5:30 tonight. That's nearly three extra minutes of daylight. Spring is inching closer, even if it's still wearing a parka. Air quality is solid too. Perfect afternoon to get outside and breathe it in. So. If you're enjoying these daily updates, share us with a neighbor. Word of mouth keeps this thing going. Stay safe out there. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Vermont Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 17th. Folks, here's the deal. February is still running the show out there. Step outside and you'll feel 21 degrees in the south. Head up through the central valleys and it's 25 degrees. The Northeast Kingdom? Sitting at 22 degrees with a light northeast breeze that makes it feel colder. Southern Vermont sees a chance of light flurries today. Nothing dramatic. Highs struggle into the upper 20s, then tonight you're dropping back to the mid teens. Classic February tease. Now drive north on Route 100 into central Vermont. Clouds hang heavy up here. You've got a better shot at scattered snow showers. Highs barely crack the low 30s. Overnight lows settle into the upper teens. The Kingdom is the cold spot today. Snow showers are likely, adding a dusting to an inch. Highs only reach the mid 20s. Tonight drops to the low teens. Here's the thing. Untreated roads get slick fast after dark, so you'll want to take it slow heading home. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. We're stuck in this almost spring, definitely still winter pattern. Highs creep into the 30s by midweek, but mornings stay frosty. A weak system might bring light snow Tuesday. Nothing scary. The real story? We're gaining nearly three minutes of daylight every single day. Sunrise at 6:45, sunset at 5:30. Your evenings are getting longer and your coffee is getting warmer. Air quality sits in the good range too. Perfect weekend to get outside. Just bundle up, because frostbite doesn't care about your weekend plans. One more thing. If this forecast helped you plan your Saturday, share it with a neighbor. Word of mouth keeps us going. Stay safe out there. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and you're listening to the 6 AM Vermont Weather Podcast. It's Friday, February 23rd. Folks, Vermont pulled a weird trick overnight. Brattleboro woke up at 29 degrees. Montpelier? A balmy 38. The mountains are warmer than the valleys this morning, and yes, you read that thermometer right. Here's the deal. A warm front is pushing north but stalling out over southern Vermont. So Brattleboro stays trapped in the cold pocket while Montpelier and the Northeast Kingdom ride that milder air. A nine degree spread between south and north, completely backwards from the usual script. Now drive north on Route 100 from Brattleboro. You'll feel the temperature climb with every mile. Central Vermont sits at 38 degrees with the best chance of rain or a wintry mix today. Those above freezing temps mean it's mostly wet stuff. Down in southern Vermont, you're colder but drier. Maybe a few flurries or some drizzle. Up in the Kingdom, you're splitting the difference. About a coin flip on precipitation, leaning toward cold rain or wet snow. Tonight things even out. Southern Vermont drops to the mid 20s. Central and northeast hover in the low 30s. Any lingering precipitation wraps up by midnight. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Saturday brings mostly cloudy skies statewide with highs in the mid to upper 30s. Not bad for late February. Sunday stays mild, though a weak system might sneak in a few snow showers late in the day. Monday and Tuesday keep us in the 30s and low 40s with a mix of sun and clouds. No big storms lurking. We're adding nearly three minutes of daylight every day now. Spring is whispering. Air quality is moderate today, so take it easy if you're sensitive. One more thing. If these morning updates help you plan your day, share us with a neighbor. Word of mouth keeps this going. I'll be back at 9 AM with any changes. Enjoy that extra daylight, and stay warm out there!
