The weather at Killington changed dramatically during the evening hours. Where yesterday saw temperatures in the mid 70's, today the thermometer is barely getting over 50. A large Arctic air mass driven by a high pressure system out of Canada has rapidly cooled off the area.

Ahead of the cool front, we had heavy rain and moderate winds last evening. Mary and I were a little concerned that many of the tree's would have lost their foliage during the storm, but on our walk around the neighborhood today fall foliage colors were still brilliant. In addition to the red maples and orange oaks, the cold weather is starting to turn the birch trees yellow in places. Only the poplars are maintaining thier green shades for now. Sunny skies and cool temperatures are forecasted for the area through the Columbus day weekend. It should be a great weekend for viewing the fall foliage colors in Vermont.
