LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE AN OLD-FASHIONED WINTER

BUDDY SMELLS SOMETHING UNDER THE SNOW...

...GONNA DIG IT OUT!
BREAKING ICE

ICE IS BEGINNING TO FORM ON THE CHANNEL



FERRY ARRIVING AT THE DOCK



Sunday,  9:00 AM.  1 degrees F, up from below zero earlier.  Wind WNW, light to moderate with occasional strong gusts.  The sky was overcast but it is clearing.  The silver sun is struggling to rise through heavy fog over the channel and the islands.  The humidity is down to 79%, and the barometer is also trending down, to 30.09".  I shoveled another three or more inches of snow from drives, walks and decks this morning.  As usual, I wore a pair of cotton gloves, and the wind chill numbed my fingers.
   Ice is beginning to form in earnest on the channel between Bayfield and Madeline Island. It's pretty early in the winter for that to happen.  I could hear the ferry breaking ice as I took photos from the bluff overlooking the ferry landing. It looks like it's going to be an old-fashioned winter.
