This is the Woodbury Pond on the first day of Spring 2022; compared to the earlier images, there is not much difference in ice coverage. There is a bit more open water along the edges, as shown, but the majority of the pond is still ice covered.
The amount of snow on the land has diminished dramatically after several days of rain and some above-freezing daytimes.
The beaver bog, now pond, outlet stream that feeds into the Woodbury Pond to the right of this image is flowing nicely, as shown in the image below. This was taken last week and most of the snow shown is now gone.

Last week’s view of the pond (it looks the same today). The snow cover has diminished enough for regular boots to handle. Temperatures in the mid-forties is allowing slow melting and contributes to a modest mud season (so far).
Streams are running and the pond is showing signs of ice breakup at the stream entrance points (to the right in this image is where our local beaver bog stream empties). Despite this warming of the pond snow and ice, we saw an ice fisherman today on the right side.
