Snow has melted off the outdoor furniture, some on the roof, and on the deck. Not so much on the frozen ground. Still full coverage around 5" most places.

I turned my thermostat up to 70 given the relative warmth outside. Heat pump not working so hard and I dont need to start a fire to keep it from running constantly. Kinda liking this.

I have the spray foam insulation, i need the AC on today.

I have 6" log outer walls- R value isnt the best but not as relevant because of the high thermal mass(heat storing capability).

47 for a high imby. Shaded and wooded areas look untouched.

Took my old Roscoe 6 out for a spin (it’s got the knobby tires). Sidewalks are mostly cleared but not the bike lanes. This glacier is dense material and should be studied.

I’m in Maryland until the weekend, so I had the chance to explore this glacier yesterday and early today, and it really was just like Feb 2007. It was rock solid, very slippery, easy to skid on, and you needed very good balance to even try venturing through the glacier. I measured around 6” depth as of this morning.

And it had this very shiny glow especially under light that you rarely ever see normally. It’s been 19 years since I’ve last seen anything like this so you can say it’s rarer than a HECS.

Not to mention, the Inner Harbor is partially frozen along with so many other bodies of water.

The fun is ending with today’s warmer temps, but this was a hell of a run.
