I saw a single Robin on thawed lawn. It was located across from the Mohawk Valley Lookout, east of Little Falls, on State Route 167. The temperatures are climbing into the 50s. They were in the 40s yesterday. Most areas still have snow, especially in the hills. I have been observing radar images. I have seen tremendous amounts of what is known as ground clutter. The unfiltered radar images will pick up insects, wind turbines, buildings, mountains, and migratory birds. The masses of ground clutter are exploding at night fall and disappearing at daybreak. They show up as a developing speckled light green or blue around the radar. The radar sites are lighting up around the Mississippi/Ohio Valley, the Potomac, southern Georgia, Cape May area, interior North Carolina this Morning, and were spreading across Indiana into Michigan ahead of the front. Behind the front and into the Midwest more radars are lighting up as far north as Iowa.
