March Thaw - Finally

We are full swing into March and finally up in the Lake Sunapee area we are getting a late winter thaw. It has been raining all day this Town Meeting Day 2013. The critters outside devoured two-thirds of the seed I put a couple of days ago. The driveways and dirt roads around town are deeply rutted and slippery with mud. The sugar houses have begun to process maple sugar.
Our last snowstorm on March 7 brought us about 8 inches of weight snow, but the day after the skies cleared, the temperatures rose and the snow began to quickly melt. Still lots to go before the woods and backyard are clear, but I can feel the spring coming.
