THE SUN IS NOTICEABLY HIGHER
AND RED MAPLE BUDS ARE SWELLINGWednesday, 8:15 AM. 19.5 degrees, up 2 degrees from earlier. Wind N, calm. The sky is blue except for clouds on the eastern horizon, the tail end of the big eastern storm. The sun is noticeably higher in the sky now.
We had several days of really wintry weather but it looks like we are getting a break, with the barometer on the upswing. Us old dogs (human as well as canine) had aches and pains for days from the high humidity and low air pressure, but we are all pretty frisky this morning.
The longer days are beginning to have some subtle effects on vegetation and landscape; the red maple buds are beginning to swell, and the aspen groves have a fresh, gray-green cast when viewed from a distance (hard to catch in a photo). We are getting the faintest hints of changing seasons, even as we wait for the ice road to open.
