We're getting the rain we were promised.  That's both good and not so good.  Good that we're actually seeing melting going on and the snow pack is getting less deep, but not so good for snow sports and sugar makers.  This will hurry the melting process on the pond, so we may not have ice into June after all; and it will be good to see some bare ground.  I was able to get a picture of the channel as it is opening up - each day the scene will change, but open water on the pond is still some time away.

Until now our roads have been very good, going towards Route 2, but today a sink hole (not really very big) opened up at the end of our driveway where the mail carrier swings in for the three mail boxes.  We've notified the Town of Cabot, and I'm sure it will get fixed soon, but with this rain, they will have other roads and problems to attend to, so it may be a few days. 

It's 44 degrees, but very little sunshine today.  Just rain.  In the Burlington area they reported thunder and lightning last night.  We surely didn't get anything like that, although the wind was blowing quite strongly during the night.

There's no doubt that spring is here!
