January 17

1/17/08: Thursday, 8:00 AM. 8 degrees, barometer down, wind calm, skies partly cloudy with high gray puffy clouds. There is some fog over the channel, which froze over again last night and is white with a light dusting of snow. If the wind stays calm this should be the beginning of the winter ice. Eric says he is going ice fishing out there tomorrow but I doubt it. The birds have not been very active at our feeders lately. Someone in the neighborhood with a gourmet feeder?
