Crusty, Hard Walking

Our precip came down in layers of ice and snow, and walking on it is hard. It will take most of your weight, then drop you. The deer have not been seen until Thursday night, when I saw some movement over in the pines. They normally walk across the dam every day, but the only tracks out there this week are from squirrels. More snow is supposed to ease in tonight, maybe up around four inches on top of our crustiness. Ice from Sunday is still sparkling up in the treetops. 



The county blacktop melted down enough that you can drive on it so long as you keep a light foot on the accelerator. Sunshine melted much of the ice, but it is re-freezing tonight. It is much better than it was Monday and Tuesday. I was able to go to the farm with the little Nissan two-wheel drive pickup today.

Here comes the next one!
