April is a bit unpredictable around here: It may rain and snow all in the same day. It may be a 60 degree sunny day or single digit nights. But, you can be sure that we’ll have mud!
Vermont is a bit unique in that 55% of the roads are dirt/gravel, and this means that during the snow melt – and this year we got a lot of snow! – it can turn the roads to mud.
It’s hard to tell how the specific factors come together to determine if it will be a really “bad” mud season or one that’s not too bad: how quickly it melts; how much snow we have; how much rain we have; how much sun there is; how deep the frost is. There are years when you think it will be really bad and it’s not, and years when you think it won’t be bad and it is.
Regardless, you can bet on mud as we work our way to springtime. I’m writing this on March 31 and there’s still towering snow banks and we got nearly two feet of snow just a week ago, so we have what seems like will be a long time before we see our first spring flowers. But then again, you never know what will happen around here!
