Our weather continues to be a mix of unpleasantness. Overnight we had a little rain, a little snow and some fog - this morning the temperature is 30 degrees and a little foggy. Fred has checked the block and the clock and all is still just about the same, as far as we can tell. These pictures he took at 7 a.m. show a little more water along the shore, and the rope seems to have tightened a bit, indicating the ice is beginning to move. You can see the red streamer was active this morning, indicating a bit of a wind from the north. If we get a strong wind - from almost any direction - things could change quickly. I don't think that ice is very strong. Here is a short slide show.

Right this moment it is beginning to snow again, so the fog that we see in these photos may have been more snow particles than water. It is still March, after all. We've been known to get some really bad weather in April, too, so winter may not be over yet.

Someone asked whether all the pictures on the web site are current. The ones here on the blog are definitely posted the day we took them. We have an "album" that can be accessed from home page of the website that has older pictures of places associated with the pond. To see pictures from previous years, you can go to the blog archives. There isn't much variation, actually, except it's interesting to compare how things look compared to times before, whether it's yesterday or a year ago.
