Mud Season
Mud Season has a reputation in Vermont. Leaves begin to peek out of branches as snow starts melting. The green-up begins. Spring is on its way.
However mud season also means a mess. Frozen ground melts from the surface down. Ice in the soil turns to water, but it cannot move past the still-frozen ground below it. A thick layer of mud pools, and it lingers until the water can percolate down into the groundwater or flow into rivers.
Last spring, my friends in Vermont told me that that the mud was of "biblical proportions".
I'll pass.
