Snow’s Melting! — pat morss

Posted on by patmorss

Gloucester and Boston reported a record high temperature of 74-degrees F yesterday, accelerating the snowmelt.

After our second storm two weeks ago, the snow has hung around during the cold.
Then a couple of days ago, melting was well underway.
The gnomes in the tree trunk began to reappear.
Now it looks like spring, and they’re all smiles.
It’s been tough for the animals foraging for food.
This youngster appears to have come through OK (but don’t eat our plants).
Niles Pond has been frozen solid with few signs of human or wildlife.
Today, a little melting along the shore allowed the Mallards to swim again.
Snow didn’t impede crows from harassing a Red-tailed Hawk.
Brace Cove never froze, and yesterday 16 seals soaked up the unseasonal warmth.
The full moon looked like a compacted hot ember, distorted just above the horizon.
