Fall Report

We have 1" of fresh snow on the ground,finally getting a little sun shine. The North wind is blowing and temps are dropping.Woke up to -11 and its now -14c
Lake temp on Nov. 04th was 8c. Temp on Nov.19th is 1.5c. My first guess was freeze up Dec.08th but I now think that may be too late.Moving the date forward to Dec.04th.
Yesterday I went to Town( saw a loon) in open boat-strong East wind blowing and each time the bow went down in a wave the wind caught the spray and blew it back over the boat, by the time I got to the landing the inside of the boat and me had a 1/4" coating of ice.
Monday will be 2nd last trip to town for supplies,then sometime around Dec.01 for the last trip of fresh produce etc.. Then batten down the hatches till we can snowmobile out around Dec. 15.
