Last of the River Ice at Argo Pond

Most everything has melted now, but here is a nice characterization of the complete ice cover of the Huron River in late February. It was thick enough that someone cleared a patch to ice skate on, which leads all the way across the Argo Pond to the NEW Center. Very impressive ice cover.

Snow Day

 The first real snow day of the winter season. I am mesmerized by the snowfall. 

The Huron River Days

I've kept a pretty good journal of several observation spots along the Huron River bend along Depot Street in north Ann Arbor for several years now. Sometimes I lose steam on recording via video, but I am determined to finish a solid collection by the end of this year.

It will be my contribution to the natural features inventory for this area.

I am entering a new era of my life, and this year may hold some big changes.

We shall see. 

In the meantime, I will persevere in the diligence of these chronicles.

This latest one is the Argo Dam on the north side of Ann Arbor on one of the very coldest days of the year (January 16, 2024). The water seemed particularly high on this day, as I am sure the data will bear.

Cheers!
