The 8 to 14 day outlook indicates a likely probability of above normal temperatures and precipitation prevailing across the Northeast part of the United States from December 13th thru December 19th.

Well, this is a bit of a surprise. We have tied the record high temperature at the Burlington International Airport at 3:28 AM when our temperature warmed to 70 degrees. Will we break the record before rain arrives in 60-90 minutes? #vtwx

FRIDAY: The @VTClimate Assessment found #Vermont is warming faster than global averages.
Join #UVM researcher @g_galford on how #VT is expected to change if global emissions are not curbed.

Vermont flood costs projected to exceed $5.2 billion, #UVMresearch finds.
Homeowners and low-income households expected to be hit hardest by increased flooding from climate change.
Findings made possible by new #UVM flood mapping tool: go.uvm.edu/oc50s #vt #vtpoli

Winter Weather expected today and Saturday for the North Country and neighboring areas. Expect difficult travel due to accumulating snow, slick roads, and blowing snow. #vtwx #nywx

This year, we asked elementary school students to come up with names for our state plows and they had many great ideas. All plows, from Jennifer Snow-Pez to the Snow Dragon, will unite to keep school commutes safe. Check out what they came up with at vtrans.vermont.gov/name-a-pl…

Highlighting some key findings here. Many talented researchers and partnership with @TNCvermont made this Vermont Climate Assessment possible. Grateful for leadership from @g_galford and important contributions from @VTEcostudies @VTStateParks @UVMExtension @CDAEatUVM and more.
#Vermont is known for cold winters, skiing, maple syrup & farming.
But climate change is putting these hallmarks at risk, new #UVMresearch shows.
The state has now warmed nearly 2°F, with a 21% jump in precipitation.

Summer is not over yet, which means there is still time to visit some of our beautiful natural areas! Lucky for you we have a whopping 19 natural areas less than 5 mi. away from creemees. Make sure you plan your summer-end nature visits and get a creemee after or before.

Meet @mahalia_bc, second-year @UVM_RSENR PhD student and QuEST trainee, working on the @VTClimate Assessment, using historical climate data from weather stations around #Vermont to inform local climate change policy around forests, agriculture, water and health.

Ironically, "Trump trying to bury climate report" is such a compelling media narrative that it might lead to GREATER coverage of the #NationalClimateAsessment...

Reaching climate neutrality by mid-century is still possible but only if public&private sector urgently #stepup #climateaction. bit.ly/2Bkw1Nc @UNFCCC's milestone reports, the Yearbook & Talanoa Dialogue Synthesis Rep., call for urgency to achieve #ParisAgreement goals.

Climate change is taking the United States into uncharted territory, 13 federal agencies conclude. “The assumption that current and future climate conditions will resemble the recent past is no longer valid."

Of immediate relevance, the report quantifies the extent to which climate change has increased the area burned by wildfires in the last few decades. Questions? Ask fire expert @LeroyWesterling right here on twitter. #NationalClimateAssessment

I wrote the climate scenarios chapter myself so I can confirm it considers ALL scenarios, from those where we go carbon negative before end of century to those where carbon emissions continue to rise. What WH says is demonstrably false.
Great piece by @yayitsrob
Note WH claim assessment was based on the “most-extreme scenario" is untrue. It wasn't based on any one scenario. Much of it described impacts already happening! And the "worse-case" was just the business-as-usual, do nothing approach favored by WH.

While climate & weather are not the same thing, that doesn't mean that they aren't related.
Why are we getting more extreme weather as the planet warms?
