Jay Peak Is Our Latest Harbinger Of Winter

Jay Peak Resort in far northern Vermont this afternoon Tweeted the photo in this post, which shows a light snow accumulation on its slopes.

The snow flurry that caused this wintry
scene at Vermont's Jay Peak Tuesday
set off an even bigger flurry of Tweets and
Retweets.  

The bit of snow came from that cold front that came through the Green Mountain State today.

The front has been advertised for days as being the one that would end our long streak of warm autumn weather in the northeastern United States.

That seems to be what's happening.

The picture of snow flurries at Jay Peak set of a blizzard of Tweets and Retweets from people starved for winter sports.

Look for a little more snow from time to time in the upper elevations of northern New England for the next several days. We won't get any blockbuster storms, but there should be some.

Even some valley locations in Vermont and surrounding states might get a few wet snowflakes mixed with the occasional raindrops over the next five days or so.

I imagine some ski resorts will be firing up their snow making guns, too, just to see if they work. And I bet Killington Resort will open any day now, as they always do once they make their first patch of snow
