Dean Conant walks a half-mile past muddy ruts on East Bethel Road from his Randolph, Vt., home to do barn chores at Pineville Farm on Friday, March 18, 2022. Conant left his truck at home so his wife and kids could travel through the mud to their Grange meeting while he milks his cows in the evening. The town highway department dumped stone to fill several muddy stretches of the road early on Friday, but the road remained soft. (Valley News – James M. Patterson) Copyright Valley News.
