Stream is running high!

Between the rain that fell after the snow yesterday and the slowly-creeping-up temperature, we're seeing a lot of water coming down the hill! The stream right now is up to 7 inches even; I think it will go higher today. Both the secondary and tertiary channels are flowing, and the Cascades are rushing through the snow. If you've never seen the Cascades in the winter, come have a look!

The National Weather Service is reporting a total of 7.5 inches of snow in Worcester yesterday.

At 9am, it is just hitting 40 degrees and rising
The barometer is 28.67 and rising under clear blue skies

Setting out the birdfeeder

As the migrating birds have migrated by now (those that are still migrating; we've got a family of Canada geese on Cook's Pond that find life here in Worcester too plush to leave!) and the bears should be slowing down, we've now put out our birdfeeder. We usually get a good number of chickadees, nuthatches, and sparrows, but we'll let you know if we see anything special.
