The calendar may say that spring starts tomorrow, but the below freezing foggy morning made the day look wintry with the frosty trees.
Not Spring Yet

Pretty big white fluffy snowflakes fell this morning. Well they might have been pretty if it was December and not March as I didn’t care to clear several inches of snow off my car when some years the white blossoms of wildflowers can be found in March.

If the forecast is accurate for the coming week, maybe today will be the last day where the high remains below freezing, although it will be still freezing overnight.

With temperatures below zero again this evening, it feels more like January than March. Hopefully the forecast is right and next week will be warmer so then maybe the bite of winter will lessen.

With the wind chills below zero again, winter isn’t releasing its grip today but maybe next week will bring warmer conditions.

Although the temperature stayed below freezing, the sun was strong enough to cause some melting and some of the icicles grew in length before breaking off. The two foot icicles I saw today are tiny compared to the huge icicles by the ice caves on Lake Superior. If you look closely, you can spot a person dressed in black under the ice formations near the center of the photo so the icicles are a tad longer than two feet.

There are a variety of caves, tunnels, frozen waterfalls and other ice formations along the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. This large cave is called the Garage and it would easily accommodate a huge dump truck although I’m not sure the ice under would hold up to the truck’s weight. But it was fun exploring the large cave with its ice coated walls.

The ditch magnets were busy pulling cars off the road this morning. Actually it was the layer of ice on the road that caused the vehicles to end up in the ditches. Crawling around in this slippery ice coated tunnel is definitely more of a fun adventure than slipping off the roadway in a car.

My poor shrub was under the roof line yesterday when the snow was melting and encased the plant in ice. And today it didn’t get above freezing to melt the ice so it may remain frozen for a few more days.

Last evening when the sun had already set, but with some hint of pink remaining, a horse was racing across the snow covered field enjoying himself. This morning with a cloudy sky, a group of horses were just just standing around so apparently they need the sun to charge them up too as they weren’t running around.
