February 14th, 2026 –February 18th is Spring – RISSHUN (Beginning of spring)-3rd KOU “Fish emerge from ice” The thick ice is gradually melting, then fish emerge from the ice.
The pond (an agricultural reservoir) I visited last year was still completely covered in ice.
Raccoon dogs?
The footprints continued all the way to the other side. The melted, larger ones signal that spring is just around the corner.
