Getting upwards of 45 days with snow pack on the ice that I cannot remove to let sun in. No hope of getting my plow to the pond to do anything about it. Hope the fish will make it! it looks like at least another 10 days likely more of below normal temperatures. Long range forecast shows another foot of snow or more at the end of this week. This is getting hard for even a die hard upstate New Yorker. We cannot even take a walk around the property due to snow depth, and the deer are starting to show evidence of starving. They are jumping fencing and prying themselves between the house and the yew bushes to eat them. Come on spring!
