Cascading Waters can be found at 135 Olean Street on the eastern edge of Worcester's northwest parklands, the Cascades. The Cascades are 350 acres of park and conservation lands along the borders of Worcester, Paxton, and Holden, Massachusetts. Home to countless species of plants and animals, the Cascades are open to passive recreation year-round.

Clear, Cold, Frozen Ground

After yesterday's "mud day" it went down real low last night.
It was 21 degrees and rising when we first took a look this morning.

Presently it is clear with a wind at 8:45 am:
23.7 degrees F and rising;
58% humidity and steady;
30.21" of mercury and steady;
USFS Forest Fire Danger is LOW.

Yesterday saw hikers come through to view the Cascades running strong.
All of the rain and warmth has limited but not eliminated the slick icy spots.
The overnight freezes add to the mix, but it is still easier than the large extents of packed snow turned to ice.

The Cascades are running with iced edges due to spray and the brook is moving fast with icicles in spots.

It is a beautiful day.
