This past weekend’s rain changed the landscape for much of New England, not only adding one to three inches of much-needed rain to the water table with locally higher amounts, but also knocking down the pollen count and decreasing brush fire danger. There’s good reason to believe we’ve seen the worst of both pollen and fire danger for the...
