WINTER STILL ROAMS THE NORTHLAND

STILL PLENTY OF ICE IN CITY HARBOR

HUGE SNOWFLAKES FELL YESTERDAY ...

...WHILE THE CEMETERY LOOKED PROPERLY GOTHIC 

Friday, 8:30 AM.  34 degrees F, wind SSW, very light with some stronger gusts.  The sky is overcast and it was snowing lightly earlier.  The humidity is 95% and the barometer is down,  to 29.7".
   Winter returned (as if it had ever really left) yesterday afternoon.  I have never seen such large snowflakes; some  the size of a half dollar, they were so heavy they fell from the leaden skies like stones.
   We attended an evening Chamber of Commerce "After Hours" at the Bayfield Inn and drove up Washington Ave. into the orchard country afterward, where the roads were slick with about 4" of wet new snow, and the cemetery looked properly Gothic in the grim twilight.
   With no stake in its heart winter, Dracula-like, still roams the Northland.
