Yesterday sure didn't look or feel like mid-February. The only things serving as a reminder of last Saturday's ten below zero temps were the many ice shelves left attached to trees. The one pictured shows exactly how much river water levels have dropped over the past 6 days...
My non-scientifically certified thermometer shows how warm things felt under the direct rays of the noontime sun...
Actual air temperature ranged between 55 and 60 degrees F and there was a gusty wind. Nonetheless, as far as I'm concerned, it felt like a day in the tropics!
Also enjoying the day's warm conditions was a pair of hooded mergansers.
The female...
..and the nearly hidden male...
Trash gathered up between Concord Junction and Willow Island...
...which included 10 nip bottles. The day was nothing but net!
