Hey Neighbors!
With all the heavy snow this past week, it looks like we have moved past possible “Third Winter” with “Mud Season” then actual Spring coming soon. The snow was more than expected and heavy making for difficult removal. The transition of the season is always a little rough around here. Look out for highs in the 40s and 50s with rain expected mid-week.
