High Water in Mansfield

Another sunny weekend, another visit to Mansfield Hollow.

Due to some heavy rains last week, the rivers and lakes have been high lately. The reservoir was probably about 6-8 feet (~2.5m) too high.

Note that in winter, sunny days tend to be much colder than cloudy ones. Today: no clouds to be seen...









The water level clearly had gone down already, judging by the amount of ice on the trees and bushes partially submerged.




"No swimming" sign almost invisible.
(although the water is probably too chilly!)


Julia enjoyed getting some air.
