This time last year it was +17c and we were boating. This morning its -3c and we woke to 2" fresh snow on the ground with 10cm in forecast for today.
Also with last weeks cooler temps we made over 1" new ice around the docks,and the mushy spots on road have also tightened up, back to having quad on the ice. As for the area that has opened up between our Island and East Allie we can now canoe across--in the past when this happens its 2 weeks and we can boat to town.It will have to warm up fast for that to happen this year,lots of minus temps in long range.
On the 12th saw return of Merganzers,13th Mallards and yesterday the Pelicans.
Last year the lake was very low on this date-yesterday I measured and we are sitting 7 3/4" higher than last year.
