january thaw

The sun came out today.

It's been misty and grey and warm-ish for days.  

A week or two early for traditional January thaw,

but nothing has been normal in the weather department lately.

Being colder than the air,

the ice-covered river set up a low, dreamy fog bank.

Only second stories were visible on the far shore.

The weather had already herded the ice fishing shanties

into a snug clump at the water's edge

...just in case a quick move was necessary.

The light was spectacular.

Thought you'd want to see.
