We have been back in the deep freeze and snow again completely covers the pond. The forecast is warmer but it is supposed to snow Sun-Mon-Tue-Wed.
Ice thickness increased for the 3rd week in a row.
Bottom D.O. continued to climb a bit this week while the mid and upper levels have gone back down to or even lower than where they were 2 weeks ago.
This winter sure seems longer than most even the the pond has only been ice covered for 15 weeks. Last year the total was 17 weeks. On this date last year the ice was 26.5 inches thick compared to 23 inches this year. Last year the ice was gone 4 weeks from this date so there is room for optimism.
