Today Parry Sound has 22 inches of blue ice. The icebreaker will
be here in a few days, and by mid-April it will all be gone.
<br>In our garden, the tops of 2-foot high planters have just emerged through
the snow, and with 55 F. daytime temperature, the snow will continue to
melt quickly.
<br>The boat is still blocked behind an 8-foot snowbank which shows no
signs of melting.
