MONTPELIER, Vt. — With the first week of December already past: Where’s winter?
Here in Connecticut, high temperatures will be up around 60 degrees this week, which will help challenge a few record highs. Some overnight lows have actually been closer to the average high temperature for this time of year – nowhere near freezing.
New England ski areas are making snow but wishing Mother Nature would chip in.
Buffalo, New York, has already gone the latest on record into a winter season without measurable snow. In Vermont, Burlington could soon join it with a similar record.
