Good morning from Minneapolis, where fog and mist roll around like Brigadoon as the snow melts.

Quite early Thursday it's 30℉; the air is calm; barometer reads Fair; and visibility is six miles at the airport.

- Rapid snowmelt expected today with high temperatures in the upper 40s to mid 50s. Our snowpack will likely be gone by the end of today or tomorrow at the latest.

Not really an “object we own” but our road sometimes gets very cursed during mud season. This photo is from four years ago . In the background near the top of the hill the town has helpfully put up a sign to encourage folks considering driving down the road to make better choices ;-)

Today, Tom and I hiked from the Moose Bog Trailhead to South America Pond via the South America Pond Rd. A 9.8 mile hike with 889 feet of elevation gain. #Hike #Hiking #MudSeason #DurableSurface #WestMountainWMA #Vermont #NEKGMC #GreenMountainClubNEK
Mud season conditions are here. Avoid saturated trails and follow all posted signage regarding trail closures. If you encounter muddy trails, consider turning back or, go directly through the mud to avoid widening the trail. #MudSeason #GreenMountainClub #Hiking #Vermont #VermontForestParksAndRec
