December 17, 2011 It warmed up and the lake lost most
of the ice. The first snowfall was 4mm, but it melted in a few days.
|
January 15, 2012 We finally got some measurable
snow. (200 mm.) the lake had a thin coat of ice that was able to
support the snow.
|
My students were measuring the surface temperature.

The center tree looks like it is not too healthy. |

This was the greenest November first that I have
observed in the last 10 years. The Male Ginkgo tree pictured below is
usually bright yellow in October and bare in November. I returned to this
site on November 5th and the Ginkgo were still green. We had a frost
on November 7th and the tree was almost bare on November 8th when I visited.
(Pictured in the left frame)
The Ginkgo tree above went from green to bare without showing the
beautiful golden leaves. I have a 2007 picture of this tree posted on

The lake froze up on December 15 and the temperature has
not been above freezing for the past 11 days. |
February 1, 2018 The Snow was gone, but the lake is 100% ice. |
February 14, the lake was snow covered after 9 straight days of
measurable snowfall. |
February 28, the lake was 98% free of ice. The temperature was 65
degrees Fahrenheit. (18.3 C)
I took advantage of the mild temperature to sit in
the tree stump chair that
sculptured by a
chainsaw artist. |

I took my March Picture on the last day of February. |

On the November 27 we had 18 cm of heavy wet snow fall. Lake Marmo had a
thin coat of ice that was able to hold the snow. (Pictured above) On that
date, the lake was 80% covered with snow. Today, on the December 6 picture
(Left), you can see that there is no snow near the shores and the ice/snow
cover was reduced to about 30%.
