A bit of spring snow

The morning of May 9, 2020, brought a bit of whitening to Whiting - temperatures at the freezing point allowed just enough snow accumulation to be noticeable. By afternoon, the snow had melted away and local fields emerged bright green, while the supposedly-Green Mountains remained snow-covered.

Moment of color, sunrise, April 14

Dark eastern clouds suddenly turned bright pink just before dawn on Tuesday, April 14, 2020. The color lasted only a moment, fading to a soft pinkish gray by sunup.

April Fools?

On the morning of April 1, 2017, Whiting residents woke to find about half a foot of heavy, wet snow. The snow weighed down tree branches, causing broken limbs and some toppled trees.

Brief color on March 31.

Between a dark night and a very gray morning, there was a brief moment of spectacular color over the Green Mountains on the morning of Friday, March 31, 2017.

Colorful morning, March 16, 2017

The snowstorm that ended March 15 left an uneven white blanket across the Whiting area. While the snow depth in some places was just a couple of inches, thigh-high drifts were found elsewhere. The official snowfall total for Burlington was 30 inches, making the storm the second largest snow-drop in state history (the top spot is held by a Jan. 2-3, 2010, storm that deposited 33.1 inches of snow) and the largest ever in the month of March. Perhaps apologizing for the late-season storm, Ma Nature provided the spectacular sunrise above on the morning of March 16.

Green down here, but white in the mountains

Mother Nature dumped a good deal of snow on the higher elevations in Vermont and northern New York. Reports indicate that up to three feet of snow fell on some mountaintops. No snow fell here in Whiting, but we're able to see it in the distance.

Snow is visible on the tops of the distant Adirondack mountains in New York State.
