Good evening! Mostly clear and 68 degrees at the Green Mountain National Forest. 🌃 There is a west breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 59 degrees. A very comfortable evening, even a bit cool when the breeze picked up.

Tonight will be partly cloudy 🌤, with a low of 57 degrees at 4am. Four degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around June 18th. Maximum dew point of 59 at 9pm. Northwest wind 5 to 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. In 2019, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became partly cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It was very sticky. It got down to 73 degrees. The record low of 47 occurred back in 1962.

Tonight will have a Full 🌝 Moon with 98% illuminated. The moon will rise at 9:22 pm. The Buck 🦌 Moon is on Monday, July 20. The darkest hour is at 12:57 am, followed by dawn at 4:45 am, and sun starting to rise at 5:20 am in the east-northeast (57°) and last for 3 minutes and 27 seconds. Sunrise is 39 seconds later than yesterday. 🌄 The golden hour ends at 6:03 am with sun in the east-northeast (64°). Tonight will have 8 hours and 46 minutes of darkness, an increase of 58 seconds over last night.

Tomorrow will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 79 degrees at 4pm. Three degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around June 21st. Maximum dew point of 61 at 8am. North wind around 6 mph. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. It was sticky. The high last year was 92 degrees. The record high of 97 was set in 1886.

Should be a pretty nice day. ☀ I have good cell service here 📱 so work should go well. Sun is good midday although it will drop into shadows after about 3:30. I expect a good day at work from here tomorrow. I’m not sure if I’m going to stay here all week, although I certainly can because it’s National Forest.

The one thing I don’t like about this site is a bit farther away from town then hoped and Somerset Road is pretty rough 🐌 from washboarding. Willimington is 15 miles away at the last five miles on VT 9 is quick but that washboarded section is punishing. It might be better to go to Wardsboro for ice on Tuesday after work and then cool off and get cleaned up at the Grout Pond beach. 🏊

In four weeks on August 2 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (295°) at 8:11 pm,🌄 which is 22 minutes and 15 seconds earlier then tonight. In 2019 on that day, we had mostly sunny and temperatures between 86 and 60 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 82 and 61 degrees. The record high of 97 degrees was set back in 1975.

‘They Should Include Us’: Vermont’s Immigrant Farmworkers Push For Coronavirus Aid | Vermont Public Radio

Immigrant workers on Vermont’s dairy farms say they want access to the same coronavirus aid programs that have helped other residents weather the unprecedented economic downturn.

Vermont’s dairy industry has been particularly hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic, and a sudden drop in milk prices due to COVID-19 has forced some farmers to scale back operations, or close down altogether.
