We had yet another Nor'Easter this past week...the day before the official start of spring. Stayed warm inside as the snow swirled and fell throughout the day and evening...some 12 inches of new snow fell here. Today finally there is bright sunlight and the winds have died down. The snow is starting to melt. I snow shoed over a portion of the pond in search of animal tracks of which I found many nearby the beaver den and the rock Lindley called Rock of Ages. Some kind of cat prints (I assume bobcat) and perhaps prints made by the mink we saw on Tuesday in the middle of the snowstorm.
One of the animals had made little tunnels through the snow into the running water below. Climate scientists say the warmer air has been blocked from getting to us, prolonging our winter here. Meanwhile the arctic continues to be warmer than normal and the ice melting faster where it shouldn't.
