This warm weather has many reports of people, even families going through the ice. Snowmobiles, dogs and people have all been reported going through this last week on the news.
Yesterday it was above freezing then last night it poured. This morning the temps are above freezing at 40. Today highs will be in the 40’s with sunshine. No real cold weather is in site with lows maybe below freezing at night. As posted many times those cold snaps that were suppose to last have mysteriously disappeared.
It’s a really crappy winter, and now with this warm up the ground might even start to thaw which will make it even more of a mess.
I hate to say it because I love winter, but at this point I’m all for a really early spring, at least then I can start outside projects.
