Icy Pond 2018-01-03
Snowmaggeddon was a good day to stay off the roads, so I took a kayak on our pond. Saw buzzards, heard some ducks and probably a beaver. Lots of plants looking very strange.

Snow and Ice 2018-01-03
I did eventually break the ice for the dogs, but then they said the water was too cold. Lots of odd stuff during Snowmageddon.
