Great job to the Vermonters who represented us at Vermont Day in Fenway Park yesterday. Too bad the Sox couldn’t pull off at least the split from the day-night doubleheader, but they’ve been playing well lately - atop the AL East, when most people picked them as cellar dwellers. They might get there yet, but for now, I’m just enjoying the team.
And to the pond-skimmers: You guys are nuts, in a cool Vermonty way.

Forecast Discussion:
Today is Earth Day. And it’ll be a beauty! Strong HIGH pressure near Caribou, Maine this morning will drift northeast to the vicinity of Prince Edward Island during the next 24 hours. It’ll control the state’s weather through tomorrow night. The crispy readings of early this morning-near record lows for some locations-will moderate markedly this afternoon under the influence of strong sunshine, and the northeastward departure of coldest air aloft. LOW pressure taking shape along a stationary front east of the Carolinas will throw some low-level moisture into eastern Vermont later Tuesday and Tuesday night, but the storm should pass far enough to our southeast to spare us the threat of any precipitation except for far southeast parts of the state, which may see some drizzle, particularly along the east-facing slopes of the southern Green Mountains. But the next chance for significant rain won’t arise until Wednesday evening, when a strong cold front approaches. At this time, it looks like a general .25-.75” rainfall is in store.
Sunny. Not as chilly. Highs 49-54. Light, variable wind becoming SE 5-15 mph.
