A little new snow - 1/2 inch is what I measured this morning, and I also measured 8 in. of snow on the ground. Snow cover in open areas on our eastern facing slope is pretty uniform except bare spots around trees, on knolls, etc. This is probably (I hope) the last time I'll measure the total snow on the ground this year. There is a lot of water content both in the new snow that fell overnight and what was already on the ground. Our temperature today is inching towards 50 degrees (!!) and that's pretty exciting after the cold weather we've been having. The sunshine isn't as bright as it started off to be early this morning, and I expect we'll have rain later today and some tomorrow.

Steve Allen sent an interesting link to me this morning, and that prompted me to do a little exploring. This is what I came up with:
Starting April 25, 2011 ---

US 2: Long term road construction.

Between VT 232 (near Marshfield) and VT 15 (8 miles west of the St. Johnsbury area). Long term road construction because of major road construction work. Starting Monday until October 15, 2012.

Comment: This is a phase project that will involve reconstruction and widening of a portion of U.S. Route 2. The first phase of the project will involve a mile section of Route 2 east of Marshfiled Village. A speed restriction will be in place and some delays can be expected.

VT Transportation has these cameras set up all over the state - this one looks like it's just east of the Marshfield Dam, where the road goes up hill with a passing lane. http://170.222.32.148/18/

Hope Spring shows up soon!

So do we, Steve, so do we!
