Mar 2016

However, that being said, I live just over the border in MN. I spend an inordinately large amount of time in the woods following hounds. Have been doing it for over 20 years. I have never ever seen the gravel roads heave this early. I have never hear Sand Hill Cranes this early. I have never witnessed the lakes and swamps opening up this early. Streams that have frozen over EVERY winter over the last 20 years did not freeze over this last year. My friends maple syrup operation is already in shutdown mode- they may get lucky and get a few more days sap- but otherwise they are a month ahead of schedule.
Happy gardening AllyCat. I am going out to the yard now to work. I will have my Koi pond open by April 9 and expect water temps to be at 60 by then.
