The pace of melting seems to have accelerated in the past 24 hours. I'm sure the rain last night helped.
On a walk this morning I noticed many new areas of open ground, and the snowbanks along our road were noticeably smaller than yesterday. The ground seemed firmer, indicating that the frost is leaving in many areas, and the local streams are running full force.
The ice pack hasn't visually changed much. But I sense that the corner has turned, the next few nights temps notwithstanding. While there's some time to go, we should start to see noticeable change in the ice over the next few days.
