It appears as though the cold snap has broken. Today it is a balmy 19 degrees. Almost feels like summer.

Took a walk on the lake. Very strange. In places there is about 2" of ice then about 4" of water and then a layer of ice too thick to measure. But it made walking even in the snow shoes a bit difficult. Dogs has a hard time as well. The two pictures attached are from about 200 yards out on the lake.

No snow to speak of in 4 days. Looks like we're back to "normal" winter.
