Backyard Almanac: "things can be weird in February"




Backyard Almanac show

Summary: "Every step was squishy." That's how Larry Weber described his own lake walk this past week. Luckily the ice is fundamentally thick enough not to break through, but it's covered with a layer of slush that does make travel difficult. Larry wraps up a remarkable January (remarkable because it wasn't), ponders how warm it will actually get this weekend, reminisces about the -60 in Tower back on Feb. 2, 1996 and observes some signs of spring.
