Vermont: Crazy Warm
Some wild stuff is happening back east. Unbelievable temperatures in the northeast. Burlington in northern Vermont hit 80ºF yesterday, the earliest occurrence of 80 degrees in the historical record, which dates back to 1883. In fact, it breaks the old record by 9 days and is only the 6th 80 degree day ever observed in March. Today will be the fourth consecutive day of "crazy warm" temperatures.

Win Smith, President and owner of Sugarbush ski area describes the situation well in his blog post from yesterday. Actually, I found this post to be quite forthcoming and lacking the sort of candy coating that one often sees on ski area web sites. Of course, New England skiers have always enjoyed whatever skiing they can get. Kudos to them.

My sister goes to the University of Vermont so I saw this yesterday and was shocked, then later found out that they aren't the only ones to see a 10 degree record breaking.
