Spring has sprung!

If you haven't noticed the temperature, get out there and enjoy it. The warm front that touched off yesterday's snow has now passed. The last hour has brought a huge rise in temperature. At Black Cat WeatherCam the winds are now from the SW at 12 gusting 20 mph.

Temperature now 51 degrees which is the warmest since November 14 (56 F). Dewpoint is also 50 which is the most humidity we've had in a few months. It'll feel tropical if you go outside today.

If we go past 56 today... which is possible... it will be the warmest since October.

Also today, I noticed several species of warm-season birds at the feeder. They're back from Miami. Two days ago the bald eagle flew low over Black Cat Shoals apparently to scope out how much open water there is (he spent lots of time dining there last summer and fall and I haven't seen him since December when it froze...) Haven't heard a loon yet but I'd imagine they've already sent one or two of their own to scope it out & return.
