Kind of a boring day

Today started out kind of yucky and pretty much stayed that way. We even got a little bit of snow mixed with rain. My day started about 6:15 a.m. Sunrise was about 7:15 a.m.

This is my waterhole after the melt. The brown color are pine needles.

Because ice built up in the middle, I could only dip the container and fill it half way, had to use the pitcher to fill the rest.

Here you can see the ice is starting to honeycomb and pressure cracks are starting to form.

Every once in awhile, I have to mug for the camera. As you can see, I traded my snow boots for hip waders. Had to wear ice grippers also, very slippery.

As you can see, there is color on the ice which means the ice is getting thinner.

The temperatures have been pretty cool today and it was a bit windy which kept the temps. 38-44.

 I am really looking forward to breakup, it is a fun time of the year watching the big blocks of ice moving along the beach.
