Ice-Out Tickets Available On Line

Happy March 1st.
As promised, the option to buy Joe's Pond Ice-Out Tickets on line is now available. Simply go to the website, www.joespondvermont.com and follow instructions. You can pay with your credit card. This option is in addition to the printable tickets that you can fill out, print and send by regular mail with cash or check. Both ticket options are good only until midnight, April 1st. If you are mailing in tickets, the postmark must be on or before April 1, 2019. 

     For those following our weather pattern, perhaps to help figure out the date and time you want on your ice-out tickets, our weather is still unusually cold for this time of the year. Last night the low was right at zero, and today we have slowly arrived at about 24F. The sun has some warmth in it and with longer days, the earth is gradually warming. But here at Joe's Pond there is still lots of snow and with temperatures remaining below normal, anything can happen. 
     Some have the opinion that when the weather turns, it will be rain and unusually warm, sending water rushing out of Vermont's hills to flood valleys and overflow streams everywhere. We'll see.
In the meantime, you have exactly one month to pick a date the ice goes out of Joe's Pond - then we'll wait. Good luck.
