12/27/08 THAWING OUT


Saturday, 8:00 AM. 36 degrees, wind SW, calm. The sky is overcast and the barometer predicts precipitation.It looks like there is a lot of open water out there again, with spidery leads going this way and that.
The last few days there have been ice fishing tents appearing to the north off the ferryboat landing, and off of Blackhawk Marina. I would think caution to be advised if this warm up continues. It isn’t unusual to get a thaw after extreme cold weather like this December, but winter gets to a point where one doesn’t like to see everything turn to slush. I was going to do some snow shoeing today but I think not.
