Vermont April 2016 BS thread - don't be fooled, it really is just BS

Good morning Vermont and FTE land. Have a fantastic first day and Friday of April. Although we are being fooled that it will be warm. It will be getting cold for about 2 wees with a little snow

Good morning Jim. I was getting worried you were going to sleep through April. 65 degrees here this AM. Going to be a tough transition back down to 20 for a high.

Happy Friday. No April fools in this thread.

Good morning Shawn. Yup the drop in temps will be a bummer. Plus some possible snow. Looks like 10-14 days of below normal temps

That is lower than I thought it would be. Those gears don't help like you said. Definitely nice not worrying about buying gas.
