Snow Again

Just got another 5 or six inches of snow, to cover the dirty piles that had been melting for several weeks.  Looks beautiful again outside.  It is mid-February, though, and it would be nice to start seeing things move toward spring.  The days are getting longer for sure, it was still light at 5:30 last night.  And the stronger sun clears the deck in short order.

The aerator and small heater are easily keeping up with the cold and snow, maintaining a patch of open water that should allow the fish to survive the winter outside.  Will be interesting to see if they regain their boldness that they lost after the encounter with the heron last fall.

This post was made as a demonstration for the Torch Club meeting tonight.
