| FROZEN SUNSHINE |

| ONLY A FEW DAYS LEFT |
Wednesday, 9:30 AM. -9 degrees F, wind WNW, with moderately strong gusts. Windchill -19 degrees. The sky is overcast and foggy, the sun valiantly attempting to struggle through the gloom. There is blowing snow but little new accumulation. The humidity is 80% and the barometer stands at 30.85" but is beginning to fall. We shortened our walk to a few blocks this morning since I neglected to put on my scarf or Buddy's jacket. Our Texas stay has thinned our blood. I have a lot of snow shoveling to do, but will wait 'till conditions improve a bit.
With ferry service due to quit soon, Islanders are getting supplies across while they still can, propane and beer being important commodities to transport (but not necessarily in that order). Many will come across the channel on snowmobiles and ATVs before the ice road opens, but most will have to depend on the wind sleds, or simply tough it out until the ice freezes deep enough for vehicular traffic.
