Day 12.065: Icy still

The days have been much warmer, the nights have been much less cold and we even had a little thunderstorm last night. We're starting to believe that the snow might disappear soon, even though a few days ago it still seemed to have a very firm grip where it had not been shoveled or plowed or otherwise cleared.

So, I was not sure what we would find when we made it down to the river this morning, but it is still frozen and a place for the gulls to stand rather than swim:

I suspect that will not be the case for much longer.
