Mud Season Is Upon Us
Tags: Weather
The ground is thawing but the grass & weeds have not yet started growing nor have the trees begun budding. You know what that means - it's mud season. Don't go out without rubber boots or shoes. At this time of year the ground is usually frozen. If the weather continues in this direction, we will have a very early spring. Soon I expect we'll hear stories of bulbs sending up their green shoots.
Just to confuse the issue, last night approximately 2" of wet snow fell, the wind is blowing like crazy, and we should expect some drifting, at least until the snow melts. The temperature is just barely cold enough to freeze and the snow is likely to be gone by lunch time.
