Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous here in Addison County. There were no clouds in the sky, and temperatures were seasonable in the 50s. I did a sunrise hike at the Middlebury College Snow Bowl, which was spectacular. An inversion was in place, producing fog in the valleys, while we could watch the sunrise from above.
Expect a similarly sunny day for today, though it'll be significantly warmer and more windy.

A warm front will move through, causing temperatures to reach the 70s, putting us about 15 °F above normal for this time of the year. Temperatures in the mid 70s in October are certainly not unprecedented, though; the latest in a calendar year that the temperature has ever reached 70 °F is November 20, which happened in 1991.
In addition to the warmer weather today, there is a large pressure gradient in place, which will cause strong winds throughout the day. Currently, a wind advisory is in place for areas along northern Lake Champlain.
