- #PurePowder in central #VTwx. #Snow still coming down after about 10 inches overnight. Temp up to 5F! #Vermont
- Best #solar power day in central #VTwx today since Oct. 29, 2025! Made 2x more electricity than I used. In January! In #Vermont!
- Successful at a deck #de-ICE this afternoon. Also, protested in Woodstock. This is such a bullshit excuse for an “Executive Branch”. Take back Congress later this year and impeach ASAP, and freaking convict the felon this time for crying out loud!
- It doesn't happen often and may not last but we hit the #VTwx CoCoRaHs snowfall jackpot with 4.5 inches of snow overnight. Now a foot on the ground and we can start thinking about getting the snowshoes out. Bummer that weekend warmth and rain will steal some of this away. :-( #Vermont
- I first wrote and cron’d the script that makes these @NWSSPC upper air maps in November 1998. It’s been running and making the twice-daily UA maps for the past 27 years at this URL: www.spc.noaa.gov/obswx/maps/. That’s over 138,000 maps online and it’s still going!

- A chilly October 12 #sunrise hits the Delectable Mountains of central #Vermont with a dry hay field and layers of altocumulus #clouds. #VTwx
- Identified Flying Lenticular #cloud saucers earlier today followed by unusual wet hydrometeors. #VTwx
- Drought has contributed to a lot of brown and orange leaves. I’m gonna call it peak #foliage color in my backyard in central #Vermont! #VTwx
- Beautiful #foliage nearing peak in spots on #VTwx I-91 north, and east along US Route 2 into #NHwx today. Some trees were vibrant red & golden yellow in the bright sunshine. Many areas should have (or develop) fantastic color through the end of the month but some rain would also be welcome.

- Distant intense thunderstorm over Chelsea #Vermont after midnight lit up by the moon and lightning! #VTwx
- Population estimate for exposure to Extreme NWS HeatRisk at some point over the next 7 days. At least 94 million potentially exposed. Impacts likely in most health systems, heat-sensitive industries, and infrastructure. Stay hydrated, avoid direct sun, check on the elderly and pets! #HeatWave2025
- Over the past 9 years, only 2021 has exceeded 2025 for running average CONUS temperature for the first 19 days of #meteorological summer. (CONUS area temperature grids from NWS URMA data 2017-2025).
- On the Day of the Solstice in #Vermont, waves of rain/wind and a 30F temperature drop since yesterday’s #rainbow. #VTwx
- Smokey sunrise over the vineyard this morning. Also, 30 minutes of birds heard by Merlin! Also, driest 3-day stretch in 3 weeks after nearly 10-inches of rain in May. #Vermont #VTwx #Birds

- May 2025 is going to be in the top 10 (top 5?) wettest Mays on record for parts of central #Vermont. It appears May 1984 was quite a soaking with local observations in the 10-12 inch range. The weekend system will likely get some spots into the 8-10 inch rainfall for the month. Yikes! #VTwx
- Today we filled the pickup with excellent aged manure with many worms, transported it up the hill, and spread it on the raised bed gardens. I then pumped excess water from the crawl space (house bilge?) onto the gardens! First warm season thunderstorms mostly missing us this afternoon. #VTwx
- It’s been a damp and drippy week here in Central #Vermont. Vertically stacked low pressure and cold air aloft drifted overhead yesterday afternoon. I snapped this pic of a nice Cu buildup to the northeast about an hour before a soaking downpour. #VTwx
- April closed out with a new record high #solar power day on Mt. Hunger #Vermont! I produced nearly 5 times more electricity than my home uses on a normal day. That excess gets put onto the grid as clean energy!
- #Vermont is a special place. I’m grateful to be outside pulling taps as spring starts to come alive in the northern woods! Check out www.bourdonmaple.com to add some sweetness in these sour times. 🍁 #Maple
