Moon rises at 5:40 behind a house a few doors down from me on Washington St., Chaumont, NY. Dave S. called me and said there was a nice moon rising, I should check it out. So I did. This was after a pleasant day of sunshine that found me shoveling snow and carefully chopping away at an ice dam tht formed on an almost flat section of our roof. It's a metal roof and very slippery. Beneath the heavy snow there was water, perfectly liquidy. It dawned upon me that I should have removed this snow a couple of times during the days it was accumulating. I snapped a view of a neighbors yard while I was up there.
Today, Feb 2nd, awoke to see the temperature went to 13 below zero overnight.
