The ground was covered with frost this morning. But as soon as the sun's rays were felt, the frost began to melt and looked like dew. I also discovered a new colony of Ostrich Fern growing along the marsh road pond. The frost outlined the fronds and the color contrast were beautiful. Also interesting were dew drops that froze and more slowly melted.

Three days into the melt and much of the snow cover has disappeared. The lake ice is wet and thinning. And the green hidden beneath is starting to show.

Temperatures are expected to warm above freezing tomorrow, and stay there for the next week at least. So today, I took an 'off-shore' walk on the lake.
The cold winds have caused drifts among the cattail. These could be gone this week-end!

Much of last weeks snowfall melted away overnight. This morning started with a thick cover of white fog. These were taken as the fog was subsiding.

The ice now covers just over half of the lake. A flock of gulls have found the lake a good place to find and eat fish.
Elsewhere, some of the pussy willows are beginning to flower. Thus my first bee sighting of the year.

The foot of snow that fell Thursday and Friday is already mostly melted. There were several American Robins at the park today.
I caught one enjoying lunch! If a Robin can enjoy a juicy worm lunch, perhaps spring really is nearly here.

Snow melted some and refroze, leaving ice chunks on trees and dried weeds. Pea-sized tree 'hail' fell on those of us braving the creek path today. But the fall-out created lace-like patterns on the melting snow below. Temperatures are expected to hit 60F on Sunday - could this be an elegant ending for winter in Minnesota?

The forest edge has melted patches. Looking closely, one can see some green uncovered and some new green pushing up.

Afternoon sun did much to melt and soften things. Walking through 'snow' cover now is more like walking through slush.

As the sun's rays heat things darker faster, some sink in the snow.
