I woke at 5 AM this morning quite anxious to see if we had ice-out on my lake, Lake Waukewan, here in New Hampshire. We’ve had such warm weather in the last few days, and our nighttime temperature has also stayed fairly warm.
I ran to the window (or should I say, walked quickly), and noted that we are so close! Just a few icy areas near the shorelines. I feel certain that by the end of today we will have official ice out!
It’s rather a lovely time of year. It’s warm and yesterday I opened all the windows and let the air flow in. As I sat here I listened to the Loons calling to each other.
Could it be any more wonderful? Warm air, the silence of the day, and the Loons singing to me, their Spring song!
It sounds delightful
I didn’t know loons are water birds.
I’ve never heard the term ‘ice-out’ before! Learned something new today! Enjoy your beautiful weather. We are back in the upper 80s here. Summer has arrived.
