Our Pond Winter 2001

Winter came on with a vengeance this year.  On December 22nd it was still 45 degrees and completely green.  Unfortunately, here in Michigan when that happens and Lake Michigan is still warm, we get nailed with lake effect snows.  As of today (Dec. 29, 2001) we have about 36" inches on the ground.  The pond is gone under a blanket of snow and ice.

The pond is under here somewhere!	The creek still runs under here even if you can't see it!	The waterfall is under that branch behind the snow bank	Just a shot out the back	I've been plowing once or twice a day for a week.  It can stop anytime now!
