All ice left the pond on Saturday March 17th and I measured the surface temp tonight and it is already 60 deg.F! The past couple of weeks have been in the 70's and it was 75 here today. Very strange what is happening on this planet these days! The storms that have already ripped through some states seem strangely out of place. Don't these storms normally happen in August? What is all this a sign of?

Back home, it also got cool, but Wednesday is supposed to be back up there. All in all, not too shabby! By the time I get home the Perch should be done spawning.

I wasn't up early enough to see if we had frost but some flowers in the back seem fine. Perhaps we has a slight breeze to keep radiational cooling down. We could still get frost up until early May or slightly beyond though. If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Lake Michigan kept the temps up and only a few places toward the east side got a bit chilly. Our low got to about 38F. Sounds to me that a few of the forecasters are acting a bit extreme! Oh well, weather happens
