Road is clearing up by the hour. New road is in great shape. It runs north and south and is well exposed to the sun. The north end at the bend is a bit muddy. A strange washout at the bottom of maple hill. near the Africa Trail cutoff. For some reason, although both sides of the road have ditches that are well flowing, an obvious undercut has surfaced in the middle of the road and it is pouring out! This is a new phenomena. A few muddy areas, but trucks can travel as far as Africa Trail and down Clarke Road. But, Africa Trail to the island is still mostly snow and ice. The one plowing this year pushed the snow well off the travelled road and into the ditch area. This worked out well since the melting snow will drain in the ditch and not on the road. This is quite different from pickup trucks plowing, since they establish a small path and keep the snow close to the road and direct the water onto the main road when melting.
