Oh what a beautiful day!

Was 51 at my house at 9:30 AM. That warm air and bright sun feels so good. I can't help but think of a place where a month from now on a day like today people will be standing on a long line of huge boulders pulling in 12 inch bass , one after the other , using 1/2 OZ jigs. There will barely be room to stand . I also have visions of driving to a beach further east and maybe even catching some on a fly rod!

This is also a big help with the snow/roof/ice dam problem. My front gutters have no ice sticking out above them anymore and I assume the back gutters will follow that trend soon enough.

Lets hope we get a good long warm stretch for the rest of the week!

Ahh..the lovely drip drip drip of the snow off the roof and down the gutters. Man I hope this weather is a sign from mother nature that she will leave us alone for a long long time

St. Valentine's Day Thaw. What a gift today was.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

What a difference a day makes. Lightly layered yesterday; bundled up against the wind chill today. Hoping the warm weather on the way will suffice to melt the remaining ice dams.

Long term forecast says we are in for a good break in the winter action. Cold at night doesn't bother me as long as its warm and sunny in the day time. We are on the downside of the bad winter stretch of time (Jan15 to Feb 15) so two weeks of anything reasonable and we are into March looking really good. Yes , we do get big snow dumps , even in April but the big thing is they don't last long.
