Mt. Mansfield Snow Stake Update

I hope you all enjoyed the glorious spring weather that we had in New England today.  Temperatures were much more seasonable than they have been, but that changes as we head in to the work week as the weather looks somewhat nasty. I'll update on that topic tomorrow.  Here's a nice photo of the sunrise over I-84 in Middlebury, CT that I caught early this morning.

Given the unseasonably cold weather we've seen over the past few weeks, I wanted to take a look at the snow depth atop Mount Mansfield, Vermont's highest peak, as shown by the Mount Mansfield Snow Stake:

The graph shows that snow depth peaked on around March 1st this year, and then quickly plunged back down during the warm March that we had.  Later on in March, the snow depth has hit a plateau, due to the colder weather we've seen, which has prevented snow melt.  And with some snow forecasted for this weekend, it'll be interesting to see if this depth can actually increase.
