The Cascades are 350 acres of park and conservation lands along the borders of Worcester, Paxton, and Holden, Massachusetts.

Sunshine and Wind

8:30 am here at the Lodge.

The wind is constant with occasional gusts.
Presently it is 26.8 degrees F and steady.
Usually the sun warms things up nicely but the wind is helping to keep the temperature down by blowing away the solar gain. Hang in there the sun always wins.
The humidity is 53% and steady.
The barometer is 30.27" of mercury and rising (implying more good weather to come!)
The USFS Forest Fire Danger is NONE.


The blades of grass have a suspiciously greener look to them, as does the moss.
Thursday at 1:48pm is when the sun crosses the equator and we have Vernal Equinox.
Spring is very nearly here.
What snow remains look like it has been orphaned.

It is worth noting that at present the ground is still frozen solid.
Get you hike in early enough and you can avoid the mud.
