Finally the water has broken through and the lake isn’t frozen. Such a beautiful sight after such a darn long winter.

Spring is here!!!

But wait… it’s still cold enough that when the water splashes up against the breakwall, it comes down as ice pellets forming “snow dunes” along the dock.

LOL… No more snow!!!

I am not a winter person and spring seems to have forgotten us this year. Usually March 1st marks the changing point in the weather.

Not this year… Brrrr!

Being on Lake Erie, the two winter months feel like a frozen eternity. The lake becomes a frozen tundra. As you can see from my abandoned blog, I’ve been hibernating.

So…

What happened to spring?

A couple of weeks can make! The weather is crazy this winter. Here’s a picture I took in the backyard just before the holidays…

That was just a couple of weeks ago after getting hit with 15″ of snow in one day.

Can you see the mounds of snow built up from the waves pushing into shore? If you click on the image, you can view the original picture on Flickr.

I love the way the snow forms little islands on the water. If only we had penguins!

Today it’s 15c (or 59F) and sunny… Feels like spring and it’s mid-January!
