The Four Seasons is a quarterly newsletter issued by the National Weather Service in Burlington, VT at the beginning of each season. This rendition of the National Weather Service Burlington's newsletter was started in the Fall of 2014. Each edition will feature several central articles discussing recent weather events or issues facing the weather or climate of northern New York and Vermont. Also included in each issue are a summary of the past month's weather, an article looking closer at some of the science of meteorology, a glance at any of our upcoming public events, and an article detailing a certain part of our webpage and how or why to use it. Occasionally a section looking into our operations at our National Weather Service office and how we operate is also featured. Thanks for reading and we hope you enjoy the newsletter!
