Snowed here most of the day but it was warm enough that it didn't stick til
about 2 this afternoon.  By about 4:30 it was sleet then rain, mostly just
drizzle.  The state trucks have been by with plows and salt and traffic
seems to be moving right along.

Sometimes ours goes slowly and sometimes really fast.  We have our share of
floods too, just usually later in the spring.  If we have a lot of snow
like this year and then a lot of rain and warm weather we get floods.

Oh well, sugaring season is right around the corner, just about Town
Meeting Day.  You guys in the city wouldn't know about Town Meeting Day but
it is a very important day up here when we get to do the town's business
for the coming year.  Ruth

From the looks of it on the telly I think we already attacked Antarctica
and they dumped snow on NYC &Washington, DC.  Ruth up north where a
two-footer is a snow squall.



Ruth: Double whammy attack, now it is warming up too fast and it will all
melt real quick and flood us out. Leastways my impression of Vermont is you
get a relatively slow melt. Here, and south of there, it snows 24" and a
week later it is all gone and the crocuses are blooming just in time for
another snow fall and freeze. ][<en
