Frozen

Howell Farm's pond has at last succumbed to the freezing temperatures. Up until the last two weeks, the pond at Howell Farm was not frozen enough to walk on. Today the ice depth was measured using old fashioned tools that Howell Living History Farm will also employ on January 29th for the "Ice Harvest." After drilling a hole in the ice, a simple wire with a hook on the end was inserted in the hole to determine the depth. The ice is rough and cloudy, but stands at a good four inches of firm ice.
