The snow is continuing to melt as well as the lake ice and in less than three weeks, the freighter ships will return to Lake Superior and this tug boat will resume its duties after its winter layup.

The warmer days and stronger sun is melting the snow but the sunset came too soon as there is still plenty of that white stuff to melt.

I saw a pheasant in the road ditch and I heard more of them calling in the woods, so there might be be a little bit of spring fever in the air.

More critters seemed to be enjoying the sunny, warmer days as a dozen deer were digging through the snow for grass on the far side of the field. This evening some of them came down my driveway as they headed back into the woods for the night.

A flock of turkeys were enjoying the sunshine as they crossed the road in front of me. The tom turkey was the first to dash to the other side and I had to wait before the hens decided to venture across too.

The wind today made it feel colder than the 40 degree day, but the sunshine was melting the snow. And the week is supposed to be above freezing so the snow pack will continue to shrink down.

With the start of March, it is time to test the folklore of “In Like A Lion, Out Like A Lamb” or “In Like A Lamb, Out Like A Lion” for this year. Except today wasn’t a lion or a lamb. The sun was out but below freezing temperatures although at least above zero so I guess it was more like a kitty instead of a lion.

Mother Nature reminded us that winter is still here with the new big fluffy snowflakes, even if yesterday’s temperature finally reached the 40 degree mark which gave a little hope that spring was coming early like Jimmy the Groundhog said.

The temperature finally reached the 40 degree mark which caused more melting of the snow and ice off my roof, but none of the icicles were as huge as these on the rock cliffs along the shore of Lake Superior.

The steady breeze made the wind chill below freezing today so my cats weren’t laying around in the warm sunshine like these cats are.
