The 12" or so of snow cover is melting fast the last few days. Been in the upper 40's for the highs now for 4 days. Still cold at night. Real messy with all the melting snow and runoff. Kind of nice for a change but I don't want to get too excited yet. Getting low on fire wood so that is a good thing.

You could've fooled me.
I dug out the outhouse yesterday, five feet of snow in a week.
The front porch of the banya building is six feet off the ground.

We had 6" on the ground, it's mostly gone now. Have a bunch of Grackles and seen the first Red Wing Black Bird two days ago. Spring is trying to spring lol.


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

It got pretty nice in god's country as well Danny. We got into the low 30s and sunny. I'd say the worst is behind us as well. We will see sub zero temps again I'm sure but nothing like what we just came out of.

I'd like to ice fish for six more weeks, shouldn't be a problem
