Most years, Redd’s Pond is frozen during the month of January and makes for a perfect spot to lace up skates and fly across the pond with family and friends. This year’s very mild January meant that Redd’s Pond never fully froze and those picturesque scenes never materialized.
I drove to Redd’s Pond on January 24th after a brief cold snap to check the status of the pond and found a beautiful scene before me. The water seemed to be caught in stages of freezing but hadn’t quite made it all the way to the middle. You can see a few pieces of snow on the mirror surface likely the result of kids testing out the state of the pond.
With a significant freeze this weekend, we might finally be able to skate on Redd’s Pond soon.
