Wet conditions caused by melting ice and rain are expected during this time of year. It makes it a challenge to walk the dogs through the woods, down the trails, but I'm used to it. It also causes a "pond" in my dirt/gravel driveway, but again, this is expected each spring. The Ice storm we had last week caused many more issues: power outages, trees falling, one in my yard ripped my power line and masthead off of my cabin.  It took a few days to get our power back on. This caused some businesses to close temporarily, too. And some of our state parks may be closed due to trees down, again (this happened to some last year)>
