That large ice flow could be the chunk that broke off from the north end of the lake. It floated past Aurora the other morning. When the winter is cold enough so that good ice forms to the north (according to my fishing depth guide, where the lake is less than 100 feet deep), late winter and spring are enlivened by the sight of floes traveling south. I particularly like it when the floes are populated with geese going for a ride. Enjoy this perfectly beautiful day- Linda VB

Fingerlakes Weather guy on Facebook said it was -9 in Rochester this morning and that is the coldest EVER March temperature recorded. The closest was -7 in 1872. Let's hope this warming trend takes hold. Linda Orkin Ithaca where it was -10 this morning...

This has not happened here in many years. Was in Batavia yesterday before returning here, & saw one of the Snowy Owls at Genesee County Airport, sitting on big chimney of long, dark blue, new house just south of airport.
