Ice.

11-12-17 SHORT HILLS: I gave up on doing anything else outside in Vermont and came back to NJ. The pond was frozen over yesterday morning in Vermont when the temp was 12° and had possibly been lower overnight. I’m sure it will warm up again in a week or so.

Early November was unusually warm, and then mid-November gave us an Arctic blast. It’s apparent to me that Climate Change is marked by unpredictable and severe extremes. They say, ‘Climate is what you expect, and weather is what you get.’ That has never been truer, especially considering those intense hurricanes a few months ago.


The pond is frozen over after a night in the teens. I'm sure it will open up again when it warms up in a week or so.
