   No cicadas here yet, so we drove out to the suburbs where they have taken over.

   They were everywhere. The trees in the park were covered in cicadas.

   Standing under a big tree full of them, my sound meter peaked at 93 dB — as loud as a lawn mower!

     the ground nearest Lake Michigan has not thawed to above 64° yet? 🤔

     @HoustonDog I guess not! We’ve only had a few days over 80. Mostly it’s been in the 60s, some in the low 70s. So I can imagine the ground temp still being below 64 over here.
