Pond just thawed out on Friday here in NC Oklahoma when we hit 60 degrees and promptly froze back up yesterday when the Siberian front came through. Over 2 Inches of snow today with a high of about 22, will be down to 4 tonight. Fortunately we don't have 30 MPH wind to go with it like usual.
I'm likely less than a 2hr drive from you. We had that 60 degree day but it didn't open up any water. Last couple of days have been bitter cold with some temps in the negatives. I should go down to the pond and see how thick the ice is but probably won't until the weekend. Worries me with the drought we've had, it's as low as anyone has ever seen it.
We had a low of 6 today and I had about 3 inches of snow over the ice on the pond this morning, We had a high of 47 today and it's just about gone. The ice was thick enough that several deer walked across it yesterday. I don't think it's over 4 inches thick so it may be gone again by the end of the week.
I know I'm spoiled but I'm ready for Spring!! I would be miserable in the North where they deal with months of ice/snow.
I like changes. By Feb I'm ready for summer, by August I'm ready for winter. Cold gets old quickly though. I'm glad we have mild winters.
