Vermonters tend to get a little silly during spring snowstorms to cope with our long winters. ☺️

Bad crash on the corner of Baldwin and Charlotte Road. Hoping the occupants of the vehicle are ok!

Although we love the quiet dirt road life for trail rides it can be treacherous in spring. Baldwin Road is covered in trench like ruts despite the towns best efforts. Burritt Road has a sink hole in the swell between our farm and Miner Farm. Slow down when riding or driving!

Our friend Julia will be in the area in early April doing photos! Check her out!

One of the nice things about this area is our local supermarket stocking the shelves with goods directly from Vermont farmers. Be sure when buying dairy to get some from Sweet Rowen Farmstead. Personally, we love the cheese curds 😍

The farm weathered the storm beautifully but the road and footing are rough. All the packed snow is now ice with water on it. The icy road is also covered in tree branches and water making it very easy to lose control. Be safe!

Unfortunate weather after a blizzard over the weekend.

🚨Significant storm system expected Tuesday and Wednesday🚨

As we begin to dig out from the recent winter storm, all sights turn to an impressive low-pressure system expected to bring a period of heavy wet snow, damaging winds, and plenty of rainfall to the region. Let's look at a timeline of expected impacts.

Tuesday afternoon - Heavy wet snow will move into southern Vermont and spread northward. Main accumulations will be 1-4" of new snow but we expect 6-12" for the higher summits of the southern Green Mountains and Adirondacks. The snow will taper off by midnight.

Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning - Strong southeasterly winds will materialize across the region with widespread wind gusts in the 45-60 mph range. Some locations along the western slopes of the Green Mountains could see wind gusts in excess of 65 mph. These winds begin to weaken Wednesday afternoon. Secure loose objects and holiday decorations as they could get damaged or blown away. Scattered to widespread power outages are also likely.

Late Tuesday night through Wednesday - Snow changes over to rain with widespread rainfall totals of 0.75" to 1.5". No river flooding is expected at this time, but sharp river rises are expected. Poor drainage due to recent snowfall may create ponding of water on area roadways.

Moral of the story, keep an eye on the forecast and prepare for a significant system to impact the region. More on this system later today.

Another exciting Sunday morning with Green Mountain Hounds 🥰 So many beautiful animals off for exercise and fun!

08/07/2023

We were so excited to host the Green Mountain hounds today for roading! Many of the fixtures that are part of the hunt are unridable due to all the rain we’ve been having. Being located on a quiet dirt road loop is something we are so thankful for as it always gives us somewhere to ride out of the arena.
