NEW PHOTO!

THINGS ARE CHANGING QUICKLY - HERE IS A PHOTO DIANE SENT TO ME A FEW MINUTES AGO - LOOKS LIKE TODAY MAY BE THE DAY! STAY TUNED!!!

If you are wondering how this can happen, the rope that connects to the clock is being held by the ice so the block hasn't been able to fully sink yet. Now it all depends on how solidly that rope is frozen into the ice and slush. The temperature is about 52 degrees at my house, but it is probably different on the ice - that said, it is definitely above freezing and no freezing temperatures in the forecast for at least the rest of the week, bit we expect it could let go and stop the clock any moment. Good luck to those of you who have picked today - this could be your lucky day!
