March Weather Persists and Befuddles

This morning we awoke to another beautiful, sunny, warm day. Last night everything froze, as we expected, but there wasn't as much melting going on today as I'd expected. By late afternoon, the sun was gone and we were getting snow showers - the "sugar snow" sort of huge fluffy flakes that float down on us like feathers. We could get 2-3 inches by morning . . . typical March weather! Here's a picture of the hillside above Rt. 15, taken this afternoon before the snow flurries.

Tomorrow is the day all the fishing shacks have to be off the pond. There were only three or four when I counted on Thursday. The ice seems to be solid right to the shore, but with lots of water coming into the pond, there's sure to be melting going on underneath.

Late breaking news - Diane Rossi is enjoying the flower show in Boston, St. Johnsbury's Kiwanis Auction is over for another year and there were lots of Ice-Out tickets sold there, and Marty's 1st Stop in Danville is now featuring a full line of pet food.
