frost is out

When I came in from working on the pos hose reel, I heard my sump pump running. Looked in the basement, and sure enough water was running. I guess now it's a matter of his soon we dry out and warm up. With how harsh this winter was, I surely didn't think we'd thaw out this early... some fields before this rain were looking dry enough to go out and try to scratch them over where we had to quit last fall because the ground froze too deep within a day.

we still have some of that global warming on the ground yet,the weather guessers are predicting 1" to 3" tomorrow ,Up in the NW Wisconsin
 
My thermometer showed 81 here in central IN today. Starting Monday Temps are expected to drop well below normal for at least 5 days with Freezing temps at night. I doubt frost is done here. Worse yet the trees are in bloom here, & pollen count is high!
 
I'm thinking here too.
We had that greasy mud on top of the ground for a week or two. Then about 3 days of 60+ temps.
Suddenly the ground is drying out fast. Like the frost left and the water is soaking in.
 
not !!! 30 miles west of you dug with the backhoe yesterday and 12 inches down it is as hard as a rock for 5 ft.. still no water
 
Sw wisc talked to a guy his manure pile still froze tried to
dig a posthole got about 2 ft and its not real froze but
maybe wait also got water that still hasnt thawed but these
are in shaded areas was running with disc and thats dry not
mudding a bit makes you wonder but i think its a lot on the
exposure

Tried to pull a steel fencepost Thursday and it was still froze down, it's raining today so ours should be gone.
 
The rivers iced-out late this week around Hutchinson, MN. There is a lot of frost in the ground and ice on the lakes yet. The ground is very dry, I think it is absorbing a fair amount of water in the thawed layer above the frost.
