February Thaw

Today it reached 54 degrees.  As I watched the lake this morning you could actually see the snow melting.  It is supposed to be unseasonably warm until at least next Wednesday – that is 4 days of 50’s temperatures.  All my hard work to make ski trails is gone down to water on the ice.  No more trails.

We took the warm weather as an opportunity to varnish the clear glossy coat of Cetol on the boarding ladder.  It is drying as we speak.  When it is warm the space heater does not cycle as often and thus saves on kerosene.  SAM did the complete coat while I observed the melting snow.
