Lots of snow over the past week. With highly daily temperatures, much of the new snow was gone by late in the week however.
Sunday, March 1st, 2020 – I was passed by a snow machine on my way from 18th street to beach one. It’s easier to walk on the snow mobile trails because they are packed down.Sunday, March 1st, 2020 – Looking west towards Blue Mountain. Open water in the distance. The temperatures have been ridiculously warm for this time of year.Monday, March 2nd 2020 – Looking across the Bay from near 16th street. The ice tends to chew up tree branches that floats in and gets caught in moving ice – note the branches in the foreground.Tuesday, March 3rd, 2020 – Another warm day, but strangely I was able to walk down the snowmobile path without getting my feet wet – little slush.Wednesday, March 4th, 2020 – The melt became visible today. The sun warms the wooden boardwalk creating huge puddles. Taken near 5th street along the boardwalk at Beach 2.Wednesday, March 4th, 2020 – Looking west across an open boardwalk – first time in a couple of months.Thursday, March 5th, 2020 – I walked down the snowmobile trails today. A little slushy but surprisingly firm given the warm temperatures. White snow doesn’t absorb a lot of sunlight!Thursday, March 5th, 2020 – The snowbanks from last weeks snow storms are melting quickly. Taken west of 13th street walking along Shore Lane.
