Ice shelf

The snowcrete has started melting in our backyard thanks to the rain and warmer temperatures. We thought it was interesting how the snow is melting more quickly than the ice on top of it, forming a sort of ice shelf.

I've seen comments about using a leaf blower to get rid of ice, but I imagine you have no need for one.
