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.

Snow, rain, wind and..... a hike!

This morning there is a hike from the Lodge starting at 9am that is a joint MassAudubon GWLT endeavour.

Presently it is 8:13am snowing,
33.8 degrees F and steady;
97% humidity and steady;
29.59" of mercury and steady;
and USFS Forest Fire Danger is LOW.

9:00am UPDATE:
The hike was called off by MassAudubon on account of the weather.
The hike will be rescheduled.
Presently it is 33.8 degrees F;
97% humidity and steady;
29.62" of mercury and steady.

The brook is babbling, and there is a little flow on the Cascades.

10:10am UPDATE:
The snow that was not predicted has now blanketed the woods.
34 degrees is pretty marginal for snowfall, but there it is, and it was cold enough last night where it stuck and built up.
Yesterday's 50 degrees and brief moments of sun are just a memory.

There are few spots of snow from earlier in the winter here and there, but even they are looking modest like memories.
