The fishermen are still doing their thing out on the ice - Henretta Splain sent this picture taken this morning.  They must know the ice is still safe, but they won't be out there much longer.  It's kind of hard to see, but there are two people on the ice - one in black and the other is in cream or white colored clothing.  Click to make the picture larger.  

This warm weather (in the 50s today) is taking a toll on the snow cover and sending lots of water into the streams that empty into the pond.  That will work on the ice from underneath while the sun works on the outer surface.  There isn't a lot of water showing around the shoreline yet, and that has to happen before we get much movement where the block and flag are located.  Every day brings us closer to the finish - whenever that will be.  Thanks to Henretta for the picture.
