I put on my tall rubber shut \:\) boots and plodded through the heavy wet snow down to the pond. The ice has that bluish-gray "death of ice" look to it, though I imagine it is still at least 20 inches thick. This is a semi-panoramic view of the current state of affairs.



The water level is up 3 inches in two days and there is water on the top of the ice especially on the east side of the pond.

My arm was in the 35 degree water up to the arm pit to pull up the under water lights. They need to be out of the water because the dock and barge will be rising considerably with all the snow melt still to come. There is no sense in tearing up the under water wiring.


How high will the water rise on the water level tube?
