It's Weird, It's Wacky, It's Our Weather

Vermont was transformed into a winter wonderland by the recent nor'easter that hit the state on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Living in the north country, we are obsessed with weather. And for good reason. The weather can change in a hurry and can bring with it some bizarre stuff. The recent storm is a great example of that.

We devote the entire show to our weird, wicked and sometimes wonderful weather.

Greg Hanson, hydrologist for the National Weather Service, and Dr. Jay Shafer, Associate Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at Lyndon State College, look at the year in weather, explains why we just got dumped on, and gives us an idea of what the months ahead have in store.
