It was milder today with a little sunshine and the frost all melted.  The pond is still frozen though and it's getting colder as the night goes on. I think we're in for another hoar frost tonight.

We've got a melt down here too. All that snow we got last Sunday is disappearing fast! They call for a high of 8°C here today.

I woke up at 4 am to the sound of water dripping in the downspout. We only got about 1/4 inch. It was 52 deg. F then. The cold front came throygh about 9 am and now it is 37 deg. They say near freezing this afternoon with a chance of snow showers! But we have 1 minute more of daylight! Let's see, what can I do with that?
