Thaw sets in

Monday saw the start of a thaw. Following another overnight frost the temperature was soon onto positive territory allowing a slow thaw. The average daily temperature was positive for the first time in 10 days. The milder weather means Ossett won’t be colder than that 1890 record but I’m pretty sure we’ll make it into the table of 10 coldest winters since 1772.

The pond ice was at it most extensive early Monday morning before the thaw started.

I’m not sure how the shape is formed but the water now runs through an ice tunnel.
