24/04/2025

- Judge: Palestinian activist Mahdawi to remain in custody in VT
- NH gets more time to decide on Claremont waste facility
- Time for Dear Daybreak!..It's Daybreak Thursday, 4/24...

Reminder: No Daybreak tomorrow or Monday. Back with CoffeeBreak on Tuesday. Even warmer, with a sunny start to the day. There's a low that'll be moving through up to the north, but with air moving in from the southwest we're still looking at high 60s or low 70s by late afternoon, depending on where....

23/04/2025

- Claremont council fires city manager
- NH Supremes decline Tulloch resentencing case
- Sandra Oh will be Dartmouth's commencement speaker..It's Daybreak Wednesday, 4/23...

Sunny, pleasant. High pressure continues to build in, though some clouds may linger to the northeast, thanks to a spit of low pressure up north. Mostly, though, we should see blue skies all day, temps getting into the low or mid 60s, breezes from the northwest. Mostly clear tonight, too, with lows i...

22/04/2025

- Weekend brush fires in Hartford
- W. Leb's Blue Mountain Guitar closes abruptly
- Burke receiver asks court okay on sale to local group..It's Daybreak Tuesday, 4/22...

Heads Up: No Daybreak this Friday. Or next Monday, for that matter. Back with CoffeeBreak next Tuesday. Getting sunny, warmer. Last night's system is on its way eastward and though clouds will linger a little bit, they're expected to clear out over the morning as temperatures climb toward the mid 60...

21/04/2025

- Bradford's The Space on Main to close; The Hub will take over
- A tour of road grading
- Windsor snow globe maker struggles with tariffs..It's Daybreak Monday, 4/21...

Mostly sunny, getting warmer. We started the day below freezing, but with temps warming into the low 60s we've got a thoroughly pleasant day on tap—until a system moving in from the west brings showers to the region: slight chance of rain late this afternoon, more likely overnight. Lows in the mid...

18/04/2025

- Feast & Field grapples with alleged Act 250 violation
- In Chelsea, a bid to revive Vermont manufacturing
- Ice is out on Winnipesaukee, not even close on Joe's Pond..It's Daybreak Friday, 4/18...

Warming up, but clouds coming in. We're warming into the low or even mid 60s today, but there's also a frontal system headed our way, so we'll start out sunny and clouds will build over the course of the day, with a chance of showers starting up late afternoon. Odds increase the farther north you go...

17/04/2025

- Prosecutor won't pursue Leb Public Works charges
- Proctor Academy review finds "history" of sexual misconduct
- Upper Valley birders mystified by spate of duck decoys..It's Daybreak Thursday, 4/17...

Mostly sunny, a bit warmer. In fact, we're at the start of a three-day warming trend, with temps on Saturday possibly reaching the low 70s as a ridge of high pressure settles in for a day and then, eventually, air starts moving in from the south. Today, though, we're looking at highs around or sligh...

16/04/2025

- Frances Mize records Karaoke Night in Claremont
- Hikers rescued from Mt. Cardigan will be billed by state
- I-89 wrong-way driver nearly strikes Leb police officer..It's Daybreak Wednesday, 4/16...

Mostly cloudy, cooler. The air that came in behind that cold front yesterday set up some sharp temperature drops, and today we'll only get into the mid 40s, with lows tonight in the upper 20s (if you're in higher terrain) to mid 30s. Slight chance of showers this afternoon. Another sign of spring in...

15/04/2025

- Dartmouth alum gets 20-40 years in r**e case
- Palestinian activist with UV ties detained by feds
- S. Woodstock's VT Farmstead Cheese buys Grafton Village Cheese..It's Daybreak Tuesday, 4/15...

Clouds and sun, chance of rain, still warm. There are actually two dynamics at play: this morning it's the leftovers of the warm front that came through last night, then this afternoon there's some atmospheric hijinks going on that could bring us rain and maybe some thunder. Regardless, we're lookin...

14/04/2025

- Jury awards former DHMC fertility doc $1.1 mil
- ECFiber faces off against its operating company
- Behind the scenes at the Junction Fiber Mill..It's CoffeeBreak Monday, 4/14...

Sunny, springlike. Amazing, right? Don't get used to it, but for today, anyway, we've got clear skies and temps expected to get into the low 60s eventually. Tonight a warm front moves in from the west and there's a chance of showers overnight, with temps dropping into the mid 40s. Here and gone. Rem...

11/04/2025

- How federal cuts are affecting one town's schools, library
- Nobel prize winner Ambros drops by his old high school
- And all about kestrels in "This Week in the Woods"..It's Daybreak Friday, 4/11...

Chance of showers (snow? rain? both?) first thing, then cloudy. We begin the day a bit above the freezing mark, but as things warm up and last night's weather winds down, we're looking at a dry day, temps reaching a seasonable mid 40s. Sometime overnight the next system moves from south to north, pa...

10/04/2025

- 12A "dry bridge" reopens
- NBC5 checks in on Bradford's Old Church Theater
- Norwich Farm Foundation asks college to buy creamery

Clouds moving in, a bit warmer. We'll still remain in the 40s today, but at least it'll be the high 40s—or maybe even 50. That's because the cold air mass that settled over us early this week is moving out as low pressure approaches and warmer air from the south starts filtering into the region th...

09/04/2025

- Muriel Maville of Leb's Muriel's Donuts dies at 87
- Boston mag digs into Dartmouth frat culture after drowning
- Steakhouse-inspired Oak & Iron opens in Randolph..It's Daybreak Wednesday, 4/9...

Warming trend! Well, we'll get into the 40s, anyway, as yesterday's low pressure continues its eastward jaunt, setting us up for a dry and mostly sunny day, with winds from the northwest (kinda gusty first thing), highs reaching the low or mid 40s, and lows once again in the low 20s tonight. Patchwo...

08/04/2025

- Hartford man dies in VT state prison
- SoRo in the Brave Little State spotlight
- Two Dartmouth students have visa status revoked..It's Daybreak Tuesday, 4/8...

Before we start, a huge thank you! A couple of weeks ago, I made one of just a few requests for contributions that occur each year. I never know what to expect, but the response to this one was great: Over 80 of you signed up for monthly contributions or sent along one-time support, a good number fo...

04/04/2025

- Woodstock waits for word on police chief
- Man accused of shooting dog to get competency exam
- A tough winter for Upper Valley bee colonies..It's Daybreak Friday, 4/4...

Heads Up: Just a reminder that there'll be no CoffeeBreak on Monday. Back as usual Tuesday morning. Getting sunnier, but cooler. Whatever clouds are around this morning should part over the next few hours, but temps today will only get into the low 50s, with winds from the northwest—and it could g...

03/04/2025

- WRJ's Wolf Tree is James Beard Award finalist
- Podcast: At Upper Valley circus camp, kids "find their people"
- Investors close in on Burke Mountain buy..It's Daybreak Thursday, 4/3...

Weather whiplash. Well, sort of. We're looking at showers this morning, which is hardly unusual of late, with chances dropping after noon. In some spots where early morning temps are hovering around the freezing mark, it'll be falling as a wintry mix; watch for icing. But we're also looking at a hig...

02/04/2025

- DHMC to open adolescent psychiatric unit next week
- Keep your eyes skyward for woodcocks
- A VT education bright spot: career and tech centers..It's Daybreak Wednesday, 4/2...

Partly sunny to start, wintry mix late. There's a messy weather system headed our way, but it's not due to start arriving until later this afternoon; before then, we get a mix of sun and clouds, with temps climbing toward the mid 40s. Once it does arrive, it most likely starts as rain then tosses in...

01/04/2025

- Ice everywhere—but fire departments gird for brush fires
- Leb board okays extension for River Park
- A national podcast looks at public education in VT..It's Daybreak Tuesday, 4/1...

We get a break today: Gradually clearing. There's high pressure building in for a couple of days, though things are going to be on the cold side. It'll be gusty all day, with winds from the northwest, but clouds will part over the course of the morning, and we'll be looking at mostly clear skies thi...

28/03/2025

- Lots of change coming to Woodstock storefronts
- Hanover will vote on zoning changes
- NH and VT grapple with millions in cancelled health funding..It's Daybreak Friday, 3/28...

Heads Up: No CoffeeBreak on Monday. In fact, I'll be taking the next few Mondays off to recharge a bit before spring actually arrives. Which it will. And jigsaw-doers, no need to fret: It'll be there on Tuesdays. Partly sunny until it's not. Mid 40s. It'll look a lot like yesterday until later this....

About Daybreak

Sometimes you just want your day to start with a quick little rundown of what happened yesterday. This is that: an early-morning weekday newsletter by veteran journalist Rob Gurwitt that brings the Upper Valley (and sometimes the rest of Vermont and New Hampshire) to your inbox. Sometimes serious, sometimes quirky, always engaging.
