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.

Yesterday Part II

We seem to have a repeat of yesterday, at least based on the 8:00 am numerical conditions. For the humor of it all I will list the prior day (in parentheses).

8:00 am conditions:

23.7 degrees F and rising; (23.7)
60% humidity and steady; (64%)
29.53" of Hg pressure and steady; (29.88")
The Cascades remain a frozen ice floe;
Both channels of the Cascades Brook are frozen but flowing;
The wind is stirring, but there is no wind speed reading;
The sky is overcast, though there was a window on the sunrise that was glorious before it clouded back over;
The USFS Fire Danger Class remains at NONE;
The ground cover is a mix of ice, frozen bare earth, and crunchy sublimated snow.

Make sure your footwear has good traction when you head out, and be careful on Silver Spring Road/Howard Street as it is two ice tracks with snow up the middle.
