The snow continued to melt today, causing water to drip off the roof but there is plenty of snow left to melt so it will be like a waterfall for several more days.

I think every critter and creature was dealing with a bit of spring fever today. Birds were taking a bath in the cold water pooling from the snow melting off the roof. A dog was almost halfway out the car window catching the warmer air while going down the road. But seeing two people driving down the highway at 60 mph in a convertible was a little too much in only the 38 degree day. Maybe in an old car like this going slow would be okay so there wouldn’t be a lot of wind chill.

The sunshine was bright on the new snow causing the snow pack shrunk a few inches. The forty degree day made it feel almost springlike but with several feet of snow on the ground, there are no spring flowers to be found yet.

The outdoors was filled with the sounds of snowmobiles racing across the new snow. I imagine there was some skiing and snowshoeing happening in the sunshine. And there was also a lot of shoveling too making me feeling a bit weary from multiple snow storms and even this tree seems weakened under the weight of more snow.

The morning dawned in a white shroud with the frost covering all the trees and it appeared to be snowing as the crystals blew off the limbs and almost looked like a waterfall.

My lawn has a deeper layer of snow from the storm last night and by afternoon the temperatures warmed enough that the ice finally fell from the tree limbs covering my driveway. It felt like walking through shards of glass and I rather stroll among flower petals instead.

The snow is falling again and it looks like it will be snowing all night and more is predicted for Saturday. I am getting tired of winter and rather see leaves falling since it is warmer when raking leaves than shoveling snow.

The sun was out bright today but sunny days in the winter can be very deceiving as they normally mean cold days. Even the sun wasn’t strong enough to melt the ice off the tree limbs in the below freezing temperatures. Some of the limbs sparkled in the sunlight while others rattled in the breeze. Birds would have trouble eating this ice crusted berries.

The trees were covered with ice and snow this morning. The sidewalks and roads were slippery with the ice too as winter continues to hang on.

The ice mixed with the snow made some slippery conditions today. I rather see ice on a planned event, like visiting the ice caves and formations along Lake Superior, than on the sidewalk and roads. This year the surface ice of Lake Superior near the Meyer Beach sea caves still has not been stable for visitors to walk on to view the ice formations. The strong winds keep pulling the ice layer away from shore.
