Bare Hill Pond, on my way to work. I decided to get up and make this happen, but then on my drive I noticed that the dusting of snow that fell yesterday and immediately melted actually stuck around where it fell on ice -- the lakes were all white. I headed down to the tiny token public access point in Harvard anyway, and it turned out (as I had hoped) that the snow was thin enough to be manageable. The ice was inconsistent, pretty bumpy in the NE near the beach, but not bad down in the south. They lower the water level in this lake a lot; the loop I was doing in the SW was as far as I could go, the rest of what looks like water in the aerial photo was actually frozen marsh. Not a very long outing, but at least I did it.

Snow dealings, round 6a: Nancy's driveway. Snow during the day transitioned to sleet/freezing rain/rain in the afternoon, and it was pretty wet and slushy when I got to her house in the evening, but the electric snowblower handled it fine. Leaving bare asphalt for the overnioght freezing rain to land on, leaving a nice thick shiny glaze by morning. So I sanded it.
