I walked around part of Burlington Sunday afternoon, and it was chilly but sunny all day. Some of the snow that has been covering the ground for months has started to melt over the past week, exposing brown grass. I didn’t really see many signs of plant growth yet, and I didn’t hear any birds which could be due to the time of day that I went. Because of recent thawing and freezing of snow, it was hard to see any identifiable animal tracks. I saw a few people walking outside while I was, likely because it was a sunny day. Overall, it looks like we are still in winter but spring could be coming soon, especially with the warm weather coming this week.
