Wednesday the temperature reached into
the 40s, yesterday the mid- to high 50s, and when I took these photos
this afternoon it
was 61°. (Feb. 18, 2011) |
This welcomed thaw has helped clear a
lot of the snow and ice pack none too soon. Even the roofs are now
clear. |
Though quite muddy, the paths are down
to bare ground and widening. |
All but the most solid of ice pack has melted, even the
heavy snow piles have begun to shrink. |
|
This morning I tried to move the empty wood racks, but
they wouldn't budge. By this afternoon I could, so took advantage of
this opportunity. |
I've been concerned about how I'll reach the final two
racks when the third soon is empty, had spoken to Bob Donovan about him using
his Bob Cat to break them up if necessary to provide access. |
Once I had their feet broken free of the frozen mud and
ice, I was able to pretty easily "ski" the empty three across
the snow and park them alongside the other two empties. Chip Ahoy, my
covered sailboat back there, still looks pretty lonely. |
Chip Mate is again recognizable as a dinghy, instead of an igloo. |
