Monday Vermont Forecast: Told Ya Weather Would Yo-Yo Like Crazy.

Clearing skies early this morning overhead in my
yard that still incredibly remains pretty
much snow free in February. It was cold, though,
when this pic was taken. About 15 degrees.
After a rather springlike weekend in Vermont that brought high temperatures up into the 40s, it's back to winter today.

Temperatures in the upper teens to lower 20s this morning will barely budge by afternoon, and then we'll sink down to the single digits tonight, with maybe a few subzero readings.

Last week I told you that the weather would Yo-Yo all over the place for the rest of the month and that's just what's happening.

After this bout of somewhat wintry weather, it's going to turn warm and stormy again.

As clouds increase Tuesday, temperatures will rise to the upper 20s to low 30s, about normal for this time of year.

Then that strong storm that will move from the Gulf of Mexico to the eastern Great Lakes will start to affect us.

Later Tuesday night, it'll start to snow lightly, then it will gradually change to ice and then rain Wednesday as temperatures rise back above normal. This initial mixed bout won't be particularly heavy, but  you'll want to watch out for some slick roads Wednesday morning.

Temperatures will probably keep rising Wednesday night into Thursday as the bulk of the rain moves in. Although it will end up raining fairly hard at times, I don't think there will be any widespread flooding. There's not much snow on the ground to melt, which otherwise would add to the storm's runoff.

Then, after the storm, the roller coaster weather continues. It'll be colder by Friday with snow showers, especially in the mountains.

I'm still watching the possibility of a subzero blast of Arctic air in about a week. It's not certain yet, but March could definitely come in like a lion, especially if you think a weather lion has an Arctic feel to it.
