Such a gorgeous day!  We got up to 70 degrees this afternoon, but not for long.  Even the wind was warm, except on the pond when it was blowing across the ice.  Diane, Fred and I met with WCAX right after lunch to do an interview about Ice-Out, and it was chilly on Rossi's deck.  They also talked with Jane Larrabee at the store, and it will be on tonight's news, Nick Borelli said, unless there is some unexpected disaster or something that takes precedent. Fred will post it on home page later tonight, too.  Fred took pictures - from left to right is me, Nick Borelli (weatherman), Shelley Holt Allen operating the camera, and Diane. 

There has been a lot of melting today - we could fairly hear the snow melting away, and could certainly hear the water running off the hillsides.  The pond is high, and with rain expected tonight, will only get higher.  On Thursday when we stopped by Diane's to pick up some mail, their lawn was deep with snow and we were wondering how best to get to the front of their house when the television crew came; but today we had bare ground on both sides of the house, and no problem with snow at all.  The pond still looks pretty solid, but I imagine today's hot sun will have a huge impact on it.

We'll keep you posted on the melting progress - with heavy rain expected tomorrow, there will be more changes, I'm sure.
