Lots of sun, lots of mud and lots of big holes in the road created by freezing and thawing, referred to here as "frost heaves" One local policeman was heard to say that they have stopped arresting Vermonters for drunk driving because everyone is driving erratically to avoid big holes in the road, so it's hard to tell who's drunk and who's sober. At this point in the season, however, darned few of us are sober.
