Mike go 40 miles north to Burrillville and we have 18 to 24" of ice on the ponds and 3' of snow on the ground. The guys were driving 4X4 trucks on Wilson Reservoir last weekend. No peepers here.

BEFORE the skeeters/mayflies get active....
is to locate a good peeper pond and at dusk walk up there
and find a comfortable place to sit down awhile...
they will hear you coming and typically go into silent mode
for awhile. after being very quiet one or two will begin singing
then ten to twenty will join in... eventually the whole place
will get loud with a peeper chorus of astonishing volume
close your eyes and listen ...and you'll here the reverberation
rhythm (back and forth)
that is quite hypnotic and gets almost deafening to listen to....
expose yourself to ten minutes of the peeper concert
then yell real loud a quick "HEY !!!!! " and it will go instantly silent
but all your body cells will still be vibrating from the high
frequency of their calls.

Anxiously, I've been waiting to hear them. No luck yet, but I'll be sleeping with the window open.

The sounds of spring peepers was used as the sounds of the giant ants in the movie "THEM".
Compare the two sounds and hear for yourself.

No peepers yet. Saw frogs last fri nite in the rain. Worm piles on the yard this AM. I think Sunday was the first day I went out and the ground wasn't frozen since before Christmas
