🌧Finally some good news with today's drought update!!✅

Last week around 59% of Vermont was in the extreme drought and now we're down to about 47% of the state. And in New Hampshire, just about 53% of the state was in extreme drought last week, and now we're down to only 37%!

Looking ahead to Halloween on Friday, you might need some rain gear for trick-or-treating...

Tomorrow looks like a repeat of today with a good amount of sunshine and seasonable temperatures. But then rain will be moving into our region through the day Thursday and that could linger into Friday.

It's feeling chilly this morning and looking winter-like at the top of Mount Mansfield!

There's snow up at the highest peaks of the mountains across our region. A sure sign that snow season is fast approaching! And this morning you'll likely want a coat. Temperatures are in the 30s for most of us.
