Coldest air of the year on the way

Today's snowfall was a bit of an under-performer this far north in Vermont, as the grass remained green this morning. However, snow is falling at a steady rate for much of southern Vermont and southern New England right now, and I'd suspect that some areas will see up to half a foot of snow when all is said and done. Here is a look at radar right now, showing some heavy snow in Massachusetts and western Connecticut.

On the heels of this storm, the coldest air of the fall will usher its way into the region, coming south from Canada. High pressure builds tomorrow, which will bring dry and unseasonably cold air.

The October 31st record low temperature for Burlington International Airport (BTV) is 19 °F which happened in 1966, and I think we could flirt with that record tomorrow, as temperatures dip right near 20 °F before sunrise.

After a cold Halloween, we'll have a warming trend for the rest of the weekend, before more cold air ushers its way in for the start of the next work week.

On another note, here's a quick reminder to change your clocks back on Saturday evening! On Sunday, the sun will set at 4:42 pm in Middlebury, VT.
