I'm enjoying the warmth but wouldn't be shocked if something happens in day 7.5 range. looks somewhat interesting and is giving me pause on saying it's over.

tamarack Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Sizable ice jam on the Sandy in Farmington, right under Center Bridge (Rt 2). Stretches out of sight both up and downriver, so at least 2,000'. Not tall enough to flood much, but as the flow from the thaw/rain has peaked, the ice is settling onto the river bottom to await the next extended torch or big rain. Probably won't amount to much in the end but could get interesting if the late week storm brings a pile of rain. Pack down to 12" with some wet spots in the woods down to leaves, and most fields are bare or patches. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost appears since it’s so flat and surrounded by trees that it just traps water ? I’m in a somewhat flat portion, about 3 properties long, halfway up my hill. So all of the runoff from up the hill and thawed groundwater just pools up here. I’m on the north side of the hill as well so the surface is more parallel to the sun angle than a southerly facing slope. My ground is still frozen in spots despite full sun until about 4pm. It’s just tough dealing with the water here when the ground is frozen and the plants are asleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very common scene around NNE... so much standing water around, melting snowbanks and shaded drifts/patches. Grayscale ice that makes up the base of the former snowpack is the last to go. You sink in at least an inch walking around the yard here, with water filling your footprints. It's literally like walking around on top of a waterbed. Quick melt of snow on top of frozen tundra and the water has no where to go. Nothing close to growing so can't utilize the water. Ground can't soak in, sits on top. Like summer in the permafrost zones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Mud season is a special time of year. The colder climates do it unfortunately well. The deeper you can freeze the ground over the course of a winter, the deeper your mud seems to be in the spring across New England. A couple photos... a friend shared this from Waterbury, when you can't get to your AirBnB because your car can't handle NNE mud season. Friend in truck stopped to help these folks get to their weekend rental with a trip up the hill after seeing this. This one was from Moretown, VT (Mad River Valley, town borders Waterbury to south) in the rain this weekend. Damage. 4 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
