Yesterday, temperatures plummeted, and we flipped back into a cold, gray winter again. A very light snow fell early yesterday, covering the inner woods’ floor with frosty spackles.
The thawing of the ponds was abruptly reversed, making their previously melting ice groan at the harsh change. (See the image in the first Comment space.) The dangerous seasonal seesawing of Climate Change continues.
This morning, as I write, the sun is rising, but the temperature is 5 degrees (F) with a wind chill of -9. (Images taken in Brooklin, Maine, on January 3, 2021.)
