SNOW CLOUDS
A DUBIOUS ROADSunday, 8:00 AM. 29 degrees, wind NE, light but picking up. The sky is rather ominous, overcast and with dark clouds in the east. The barometer predicts snow.
The big news is that the ice road is open, more or less. There is a trail around the big soft spot off the landing and I hear one must be careful negotiating the pressure ridge, but the road is in use.
Yesterday I saw a flock of a dozen or so mallards, drakes and hens, in open water on Pike’s creek just downstream from the Hw. 13 bridge. I don’t know if they were here all winter or are early arrivals. They flew before I could get a decent photo. They are another sign of spring, more or less.
