M.J. Tuesday, March 24. Large ice floes have returned to the Stillwater River due to the prolonged freezing conditions. Not enough to cause it to ice over again. The ground is snow-covered again, to a depth of 7 to 9 inches. I examined the leaf buds of several species of trees.
None show any visible leaf tissue, nor any signs of swelling.
