I have heard from JPA President, Tom Dente, that the water level in the pond is up due to last night's storms.  Here's what Tom wrote:  

Hi Jane,
The pond water level has increased by about 12 inches due primarily to the heavy rain we had yesterday and the continued wet, saturated ground. GMP has the bladder down and the unit running at 100 %. Folks should see a noticeable difference by later tonight or in the morning. Green Mountain Power will continue to monitor and changes.
Quite a storm last night causing us high level and some areas have destruction with floods.

That was a pretty decent storm we had last night.   There are more showers expected throughout the week, so it may take a little longer than expected for the water level in Joe's Pond to get back to normal.

 I measured 1.52 inches of precipitation this morning, but in some other places there was a lot more.  Groton reported 2.59 in., Middlesex 2.55, Bradford 2.66; however, it was spotty.  Waterbury had 1.10 in., Middlebury only .15 in., Richmond .53 in., and Williston .12 in.  Rutland reported only .01 in. and even Randolph had only .22 in.  It varies even in the same town.  Someone else reports in Cabot - I believe that station may be in the Danville Hill area - and had only .81 in. The volunteer in Derby reported 1.69 in. and commented, "goodbye driveway."  

There was considerable damage in Barre and some other towns.  You can read about that on the WCAX website.  Rick Dente's store was affected, and other buildings as well.  There is nothing worse than cleaning up after a flood - even generally clean water will leave a nasty film of grit and dirt, and this kind of storm brings all sorts of debris and mud surging through streets and into buildings.
I hope something can be done to prevent this happening in future storms.  As the Governor mentioned today, we learned a lot from the disasters of 2011 but more is needed because these storms are probably going to be more common as the climate change progresses.
