WEATHER IN VERMONT

Monday morning on the mountain above Peacham Pond. Light snow has been falling for a couple hours, 2" of new snow on the ground, 1-2 mph wind and 20°. Morning is the time I check with the National Weather Service to see what to expect for the next couple days. A St. Albans, Vermont weatherman, Matt Sutkoski (https://matttsweatherrapport.blogspot.com) uses this service too. He just posted a resource list from that NWS that posts on Twitter/X. It has resources that might be useful to you if you have an interest in weather regardless of where you live.

I can't explain why but my Dad always watched the weather and I learned from him. It could have been his interest when during WWII he served on three different destroyers in various parts of the world--all the oceans of the world--so he saw all kinds of weather. Older Vermonters might remember when Channel 3 television finally began to air in the early 50s, a man named Stuart Hall was the weatherman and he did the weather flawlessly, by himself, and without computers. Every night we watched the weather which in our family was almost "mandatory"....and surprisingly compared to modern standards he was almost always right.

Local to where I live now there is meteorologist Roger Hill who posts (https://weatheringheights1.wordpress.com) and there is Mark Breen and the Eye on The Sky Guys at the Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium (https://fairbanksmuseum.org/eye-on-the-sky-guys). If you only checked in with these three sites you would always have a valid idea of what is happening in Vermont.

There's the resource list.
