Air Temp is Key
The air temp on May 14th was at a summer-like level. We were working in woods, which required long pants, long sleeves and hats to protect against black flies. We must've sweated off a good five pounds and so would've jumped in for a swim that day even if there were ice floes!
Judging from the calendar, I think we'll make the annual first plunge on about the same date in '05. Can't wait.
Brrrrrrrr indeed.
