February Contrasts #SkywatchFriday

The February winter sky can be so variable where I live in the Southern Tier of New York.

Taken before our warmup of last week.  Snow and a river, taken February 5.

You really can't see it, but there is ice in the middle of the river.

Grass and snow.

And, a few days later, snow melted, sun out.

February 13, the sap is rising.

And we end with a February 13 sunset that was promising springlike temperatures the next couple of days.

Now, alas, we are back to winter, and the weather is still see-sawing back and forth.  What next?

Joining Yogi and other skywatchers for #SkywatchFriday.
