Tuesday, 8:15 AM. 1 degree, wind NNE, but turning SW, light. The channel is wrinkled and shows no signs of freezing. The sky is mostly clear and the barometer predicts partly cloudy skies.
The roads in Bayfield, except for Hwy 13 and a few other heavily traveled routes, are all covered with inches of ice and are treacherous to walk on. My Yak Traks are indispensable now, and although it perhaps looks silly, I carry a steel pointed cane for extra stability where it seems necessary. Actually I rather like walking with it in hand, it is useful for grabbing a branch with the crook end to bring it closer for examination, or to retrieve something out of reach. In any case, walking in Bayfield these days is like traversing a glacier, but maybe minus the crevasses.
