The full carpet of snow in the woods is melting away fast, turning into tattered remnants that seemingly are strewn carelessly here and there. The beneficiaries of the melt are the small streams that gain extra speed to make louder ripple-music with their rocky bottoms and create bubble swirls in their depths.
Take a good look at the remaining snow, it may be the last significant accumulation that you’ll see until November. Then, again, we may have our largest snowstorm in May, the way things have been going lately. (Images taken in Brooklin, Maine, on March 19, 2023.)
