Record Rain for March

Record rainfall for March.  Month unusually cold as well.  Trilliums just starting to appear...late this year as is everything.

More Snow for Early Spring

8" snow fall for second day of spring.  Much more snow than normal for March.  Looking for some warm, snow free days to get things going.  The frogs have quit depositing eggs as the evenings are cold.  Seeing many salamader eggs, not sure exactly what species.  The cold weather isn't helping these creatures get on with their development this year.  



Snow Again in Mid March

Snow again about 6".  This is second for March.  Pond activity has slowed as cooler nights prevail.  Look forward to warmer weather as spring approaches. 

Snow for end of Feburary

About 6"  snow today to end the month of Feburary

Frogs continued with egg laying throughout the month.  They tend not to be adding many egg clusters when nights fall below 40deg.  Salamander eggs have been seen for last week or so.

Weather has been variable throughout Feburary.  Dryer than usual and colder towards end of month.





First Red-Legged Frog eggs for the season today.

Light Snow Mid January

Has been dry for January.  Light snowfall today. Some change expected. Pond ice for last two weeks.

December starts dry and cold. Pond freezes over.

 Pond ice early December

 Cold and Clear
