ICE PACK FORMING

Thursday, 8:30 AM.  19 degrees, up from 14 an hour ago. Wind WNW, calm at ground level but the clouds are moving pretty fast, the few that there are.  The sky is mostly a clear, azure blue.  The barometer is down and predicts snow but it doesn’t look like it, which will be good for tonight’s community shopping night out. Lucky didn't need his coat this morning on our nice, long walk.
    The ice pack is beginning to crowd into the channel between Bayfield and LaPointe on the Island but nothing of much consequence.  When it gets thick enough the ferry has to plow through it I will beg a ride and take some photos.
Today ‘s agenda is to get all the Christmas stuff in the mail.
