Mephitic preview
The snow continues to hold on in a few of the shadier and cooler spots, but there's barely more than a frozen crust—and even that has been breached by some of the Skunk Cabbage spathes that have popped up in what looks suspiciously like plant-created melting. Symplocarpus foetidus is well-known for its remarkable talents as a "warm-blooded" plant, and this member of the green world can make its own heat and regulate its internal temperatures through what resembles a thermostat, insulation, and an on-demand furnace. But I thought that this didn't start happening until late-February or early-March. Maybe the burners can be turned on at odd times throughout the cold season. Wish I had a way to take the SC's internal temperature.
