Ganderkesee As I came up here I saw one thing which told me almost everything I needed to know about conditions on the ground in the Catskills: I passed the Neversink Reservoir and saw that it was not yet overflowing. That meant the river was not flooding, which meant the snow had not melted yet.
Bắc Kạn That was precisely what I found. Despite weather almost exactly as warm as conditions in the City – sixty degrees day after day – there’s simply too much snow here to be melted by mid-March. In clearings there’s about ten inches on the ground still, of a compacted, icy stuff that can sit a whole day in the sun and look unchanged. For a reason I cannot quite grasp there is less snow under treecover – perhaps reflected heat from the treetrunks and branches? – and the ground is opening up in the woods, but slowly.
The most striking sign of the season is the fact that the river, 600′ below the cabin, is quite audible. It’s beautiful. That said, the river is high only, and not flooding, and still running clear.
