3/7/16 – Are these the last days of winter at Sawbill this year? It feels like it right now, but we’ve sure seen plenty of March and April blizzards in the past.
We had a normal amount of snow this year. I measured 40″ on the ground a few days ago, but the heat wave has already reduced it by nearly 10″. The warm weather is predicted to hang around for awhile, including the possibility of a thunderstorm tonight. I’m quite sure I’ve never heard thunder here in the first week of March.
We had a wet fall, with a lot of rain in early December, so water levels should be very good once the ice goes out. – Bill

This is our house a few days ago, just before the heat wave arrived.

This is the workshop roof after the temperature soared to 47 degrees just a couple of days later.
