A Cold and Wet May Fills the Barn with Hay
- Posted on May 15, 2026
If you’ve spent any amount of time in Vermont this May, you already know the story: it has been gloomy. In fact, this has shaped up to be one of the coldest starts to May in recent memory, capped off with nearly 48 straight hours of rain that had just about everyone cursing at their weather apps. Thankfully, the forecast is finally flipping the script. This weekend and beyond is bringing sunshine, blue skies, and temperatures climbing into the 70s. After a stretch that may not have felt like May, outdoor enthusiasts across Vermont are more than ready to trade rain jackets for sunscreen and get back outside where they belong.
And speaking of getting outside…
