NOT NOME

ICE BEGINNING TO FORM ALONG MADELINE ISLAND SHORE

Friday, 8:00 AM.  2 degrees F simultaneously at the ferry dock and on the back porch. Wind SW, mostly calm with light to moderate gusts.  The sky is cloudy and overcast, the humidity 76%.  No fog this morning, which means the surface water has cooled to approximately the same temperature as the air.  The barometer is falling, and is currently at 30.15", predicting snow today and tomorrow, with a possible accumulation of up to 8".  It should warm up to around 30 on the weekend, with a wintry mix of snow showers and partly cloudy days thereafter.

   Yesterday was very cold and windy, but it did turn out to be a sunny day, which was welcome indeed, and a contrast to Nome, Alaska, where one friend suggested we emigrate to in order to escape our miserable weather (yesterday Nome was cloudy, with a temperature of 29).  Nope, I couldn't take the long winter nights and days that last an hour or two.

OFF THE CUFF

   The pitiable attempts by the Left to delegitimize President Elect Trump continue, now with a campaign by so-called celebrities (most of whom I, at least, have never heard of) to sway the Electors to not vote for him.
   Don't they realize that he is the ultimate celebrity?
