My backyard is now devoid of any snow and I can now walk into the backyard between the house and my shop without climbing over a snowbank!!!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Wild weather last night.
Wind was so loud woke me out of a sound sleep !
Turned on the back yard lights around 3am thinking it was blowing so hard I was going to find my boat laying on it's side.

A river runs through it
A river runs through it... my yard that is, and then down the driveway. Still under the snow pack though. Cannot see any grass-like areas yet, and probably will not this week or maybe next.

We didn't get much snow this year. Kids only missed on day of school and even that was a stretch. Have not seen snow on the ground in weeks. I am even thinking of taking the cover off the boat this week. Mainland got hammered, islands got wind/rain/and some slush

My yard cleared overnight. The spinach I planted last fall never really grew to harvesting size, but it's still green now. If I'm lucky, I'll have early Spring spinach this year.

I was ice fishing yesterday in Westwood and you could see and hear the ice melting. I'm glad I brought my 8' plank, or it would have been a wet ride home.
The ice was still 10-12" thick out on the pond, 4-5" of clear and the rest the frozen slush stuff. When that stuff goes, it REALLY GOES and open water is very close at hand.
I was able to get on the ice with no problem. The shore was exposed about a foot out, but the ice was , of course, thinnest closer to the shore.
When I left, I repositioned my plank, pushed my sled right up on shore, and walked over and half way across the ice gave way.
Fortunately for me I chose the shallowest shore for planking, so the plank only sank about 6 inches, as the starting point was still on stable ice. The plank pivoted down, hence the 6 inch sinking.
I would venture to claim that the eastern half of the state will be unsafe before the week is out. The shores will be gone faster than a Charlie Sheen casting call!
