12/04/09 OLD MAN WINTER PAYS A VISIT

LAKE SMOKE AND SNOW
THE CITY CREW HAS BEEN OUT
WAY TO GO, NEIGHBOR!
MOTHER NATURE'S CHRISTMAS DECORATION

Thursday, 8:30 AM. 16 degrees, wind WNW, calm. The channel is obscured by lake smoke, and it is snowing lightly. The barometer predicts precipitation and we have 2” of snow on the ground.
The city plows and sanders are out for the first time this season, and I have scraped the drive and decks and filled the bird feeders. Old Man Winter has arrived about on schedule, and unannounced. He will lurk about and pounce on us from time to time until he settles in for good by Christmas, and then won’t be leaving for many months.
