Record Cold Over; But It Was Impressive

It's still kind of cold this Sunday in the Northeast, but we are climbing out of a pretty remarkable cold snap.

High temperature records are still far outpacing record lows, but this brief frigid spell was impressive.

Dozens of record lows were reported over the past couple of days from Minnesota to New England.

One of the record lows, 24 in New York City's Central Park, was the first time they had any kind of record low in the first half of November since 1976.

Other record lows included 5 in Saranac Lake, New York. In Dubois, Pennsylvania, the record low of 9 was impressive because it far, far exceeded the previous record low of 23.

Here in Vermont, Burlington avoided a record low, but Springfield had a record 15 degrees and Morrisville hit a record low of 16 degrees.

The weather this week here in Vermont will return to something pretty normal for mid-November. Highs will be in the upper 30s and 40s, but there will be little precipitation, if any, until Thursday, when some rain showers will move in. Expect a lot of clouds, through the period, though, as is typical for November.

We're watching a potential storm for next weekend that will probably give us some rain around Saturday, and possibly some snow Sunday.
