WEATHER NOTES—

March 1st roared in—literally yesterday with a strong line of noisy thunderstorms about daylight. After the raucous arrival the weather settled into off-and-on rain with a day of temperatures in the low 40s; perfect ingredients for helping us continue to escape from winter’s frozen grasp.

The photo above was through the deck doors being splashed by the storm’s driving rain and shows the pond still wearing its icy hat. If you note a couple of blurs of reddish color near the bird feeder in the left center of the picture that is a pair of cardinals enjoying a soggy breakfast.

Our ice-out nearly always happens on March 15th. We’ll see.
