I couldn’t think of any other thing to blog about today, so as I often do in such situations, I have fallen back to our weather. We are still sitting in a very unusual warm spell for the first part of what is normally a frigid February. The temperature was 11°C (52°F) yesterday, and is expected to be 10°C today.
Yesterday afternoon, I spent an hour bucking up the big cedar that had fallen a couple of months ago. That was a job I thought I would put off until spring, when the snow had melted, but since the snow was already gone and it was just “jacket” weather, I thought I might as well take advantage of the situation.
This morning I took a walk around the pond for a bit of exercise. There is now water sitting on most of the ice, and as you can see in the photo, there are even a few small bits of open water around some of the cattail stalks. I am sure the ice is still at least five inches thick over most of the pond, so even if our mild weather continued, it would take quite a while for the ice to disappear.
I must say, so far our February sure feels like spring.
