Northeast Kingdom of Vermont is Less Agricultural then You Might Think
A lot of people think cows when they think of the Green Mountain State. Vermont often celebrates it's rural heritage and agricultural is a big part of land use along Lake Champlain but the same can't be said about the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. While there are certainly farms up that way, there is a lot less crop growing then some of the real agricultural areas of New York.
I find it hard to believe when the radio says, Good Morning it’s Saturday, September 2nd π»
It was a beautiful sunrise but I didn’t capture any photos though I’ll have a chance in future mornings I expect based on the forecast. Another cool, basically perfect autumn day ahead.
Good morning! Happy Saturday on this Labor Day π§βπ weekend! Partly sunny and 48 degrees at the Perkins Clearing. There is a southwest breeze at 5 mph. π.
I still can’t believe it’s Labor Day Weekend π but it’s amazing weather all weekend. Need to maximize it but first eggs for breakfast π³ then a ride down to Hatch Brook Falls π² and then lunch. In the afternoon into the evening I’m thinking π of going up to Spectulator to see the fire tower lighting, maybe some kayaking πΆ and then watch the sun set over Lake Pleasant. π Plus some time to do some reading.
Today will be mostly sunny π, with a high of 73 degrees at 3pm. Six degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around September 19th. Maximum dew point of 55 at 5pm. Southwest wind 5 to 10 mph. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 80 degrees. The record high of 100 was set in 1953.
Had a nice fire π₯ last night but didn’t stay up super late. β¨ It was a starry night until the full π moon filled the sky with moon light. The nights are so much longer now come September, nine o’clock seems so much later. Where did summer go so quickly I keep asking myself?
Solar noon π is at 12:58 pm with sun having an altitude of 54.4Β° from the due south horizon (-15.5Β° vs. 6/21).
