Freeze/thaws are slowing down our progress in doing our main clay court renovations. Each night the court freezes and then strong March suns melts the top by mid morning. Since the clay is still frozen beneath, there is no where for the water to go and the court becomes mush. This has happened almost every day for the last two weeks. Warm weather is coming after tomorrows snow, so this pattern may be changing and we can get going getting ready for opening day.
We have had a lot of heaving from freeze/thaws on the posts, brick walkways and anything else in the ground. The last picture here shows the net post on clay court number 4. The post was pushed up. Growing near the post was a grass plant (Poa annua) and the heaving pulled up the plant.
