On day three, with the temperature reaching 50 degrees, my chunk of ice shrank rapidly. At midafternoon, the wind knocked it over.
Day four once again brought above-freezing
temperatures. A few drops of rain fell
in the late morning. The ice shrunk
dramatically, but managed to hang on.
This morning marks the
beginning of day five for my chunk of ice.
I presently have a temperature of 48 degrees. Additionally, yesterday was the winter
solstice (the shortest day of the year).
Today will bring a few more seconds of melting daylight.
This is the end for my ice. By the close of this day, the ice will be a puddle. Most interesting to me
is the fact the ice generally retained its original shape as the elements
whittled it away.
